Here at Opening Ceremony, we're mad about diagonal stripes, so when it came to our recent Resort 2015 collection, we kept the lines clean and the colors bold. “One of the things we focused on were these bright, breathable stripes that are inserted throughout the collection,” said co-founder Humberto Leon. “We wanted to function with this active aspect.” True to that branded stamp of quirk and cult-chic, our designers favored an athletic functionality against a more tailored silhouette, only to be offset again by a jaunty application of said bold stripes. (Children of the '80s: Is anyone else recalling that glorious Fruit Stripe Bubble Gum?)
Aside from the diverse, texturized fabrics, we also saw an array of blown-out, oceanic-inspired prints, which, according to Leon, laid out a certain cohesion: “You'll see that these patterns speak to each other in terms of this mother print, the anemone,” he said. Another water-inspired introduction? A frayed, plush raffia, which ran like piping to nylon pants or as a vertical stripe along the bottom of a delicate dress.![]()
