For Pre-Fall 2015, Opening Ceremony takes the idea of refreshment and regeneration as inspiration, with everyday fruits and vegetables symbolizing the exciting renewal that takes place each fashion season. The prism-like displays of fruits and vegetables spotted on every New York street corner—and our daily rituals surrounding them—have cleaved a starring role in Opening Ceremony’s zeitgeist for the new season.
The Opening Ceremony girl enters a spellbound menagerie of cut and peeled, twisted and swirled ingredients that echo a supermarket spectrum. The collection is an artful mash-up of darker, mouth-watering colors. Think beet, blueberry, grapefruit, and kale green, and future-modern cuts and fabrics that interpret the peel of a banana or the texture of a leafy Swiss chard.
Silhouettes strike a balance between the fitted and draped, featuring delicate twisted seams and high necklines on separates and structured suiting alike. Take the Moodie Crepe Collar Dress in celery, with a mille-feuille-like twisted seam running from the bodice to the hem, or the pigment-printed Cabbage Outline Multi Twist Dress in green apple, its pattern echoing a natural cross-section. The embossed organza Laser Cut Fruit Shell Top and the Fruit Jacquard Dress use striking cutouts, mimicking lemons, carrots, and radishes seemingly tossed and suspended, in mid-air. A “fruit face,” with cucumber slices for eyes and a grapefruit wedge for a mouth, is seen on the Intarsia Sleeveless Dress and the Check Sleeveless Dress, while minimal staples like the shirt dress, the vinyl boxy coat, and the straight leg pant are rendered in a digitally-printed banana skin, down to its tiny freckles. Also introduced this season is a classic draped pant—in various materials like fille coupe and crepe—with a side seam and gradual tapered ankle.
The “Fresh!” unisex jersey capsule features T-shirts, sweatshirts, varsity, and knitwear printed with grocery-standard barcodes, the Opening Ceremony logo, and branded, embroidered “fruit stickers” that play off something one might peel off an apple or a kiwi.
The story continues in the collection’s footwear and accessories. Shiny calf leather in rich hues like beet, raspberry, and a black “cabbage” stamped suede are seen on the striking crisscrossed Julia High Heel Mule and Julia Thong Sandal, finished with patent shadow piping and a mélange marbleized acetate geometric heel. Ripe for the taking: the playful netted detail in the Lug Sole and Demi Wedge Sandal, which draws inspiration from a citrus bulk bag. The Lele Handbag and Athena Lunch Bag are also back, this time in glossy, wax-like textures, while the best-selling Izzy backpack comes in a new wool base, embroidered with our “fruit sticker” patches.
The collection hits stores and online the summer of 2015; meanwhile, shop all current Opening Ceremony here![]()
