You came to the right place for your one-of-a-kind fashion coverage because Opening Ceremony is giving you an all-access pass to NYFW Fall/Winter 2015. In typical OC fashion, we're doing things a little differently—with just the show essentials and backstage highlights. Above, photos from Ammerman Schlösberg's Fall/Winter 2015 show—or should we say, "Furry Hospital."

Show: Ammerman Schlösberg
Location: Highline Room at The Standard
Winning Look: Cheongsam style fur-trimmed top worn with a quilted red mini-skirt, fishnet leggings, and lace-up industrial platforms. Or the off-white Cheongsam hospital gown trimmed with nude fur, makeshift gauze boob-pasties, and a furry-medical eye patch.
Inspired by: The collection was heavily influenced by the underground, industrial goth movement of the '80s and '90s, with intermittent themes of sickness and deprivation. The use of traditional Japanese silhouettes and schoolgirl-esque cuts gave the garments a subtle feminine touch.
Reminded us of: If Wes Craven designed a capsule collection for an insane asylum or Elle Driver-from-Kill Bill-meets-St. Mark's-Place-street-style
Wear it to: A Quentin Tarantino-themed cocktail party, a first date, or a goth rave on Halloween
Reporter's notes: Textural fabrics, satanic themes, Hospital "+" motif, Asian influences, Kimono style robes, dramatic contrast stitching, and novelty "Get Well" balloons floating in the background
Designer quote: "This collection is called 'Furry Hospital' and it is inspired by the culture of furries, as well as the punk-rock and goth movement." —Elizabeth Ammerman.
Spotted: Lolita maids at the door wearing archival Ammerman Schlosberg greeting guests with hospital bracelets
Overheard: "Oh my God, I wish I looked this fierce when I was sick!"
Soundtrack: Ambulatory monitors spliced with eerie drawls, and aggressive, industrial goth-rock.Photos by Patrick Spears
