Even the fashion elite know how to pay it forward. Last spring, Opening Ceremony founders Carol Lim and Humberto Leon participated as judges in the annual Hyères Festival. There, they awarded Ukrainian designer Yulia Yefimtchuk with the Opening Ceremony donation. As part of this special prize, the designer's collections would be carried in Opening Ceremony stores—yes, you get to shop her pieces for two whole seasons. Everybody's a winner here.
With her bold color choices and sly fashion messages, Yefimtchuk has created a conceptual fashion line that mixes political elements and art together in the most understated way. Inspired by Constructivist design and architecture, the designer features geometric cut-outs, block lettering, and austere silhouettes in her Fall/Winter 2014 collection. Fire-engine-red tones light up oversized collar shirts, while sophisticated proportions are apparent in her A-line skirts. With a Contrast Sleeves Text Dress that exclaims "Every day is happier to live in!" and a Front Pocket Text Shirt that proclaims "World-Peace!" in Russian, you can make a statement before anyone even realizes what they're reading.
