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 the Opening Ceremony Fall/Winter 2015 show, where Humberto Leon and Carol Lim looked to their friend Spike Jonze's archive photos for inspiration.
Breaking the mold, the fashion crowd and old-school skate scene joined together at the Cheim & Read gallery space in Chelsea to view never-before-seen archive prints from Jonze's collection. This was the only show where you could see vintage Drew Barrymore photos, Susie Bubble, and iconic skate legends in one place.

Show: Opening Ceremony
Location: Cheim & Read
Winning Look: According to Jhené Aiko, "My favorite piece is the Kodak shirt. It's super '90s; I would wear it everyday."
Inspired by: Spike Jonze’s archive of early BMX, skateboard, and behind-the-scenes photography. Photos appearing in the exhibition, primarily 35-milimeter film shots, spanned two decades, ranging from 1985-2005.
Reminded us of: Jonze's Video Days skate vid, chill sessions with The Gonz, car rides with Björk, shredding with Mat Hoffman, Jackass!!!
Wear it to: The skate park, a photo shoot, dinner—anywhere!
Reporter’s notes: Models playfully hitting each other with Fall/Winter 2015 handbags, guests entering with skateboards in-hand, ILoveMakonnen talking to Miss Info, Mark Gonzales taking disposable camera pictures in his OC-Exclusive Mophie Varsity Jacket, skater boys mixing with the fashion crowd, lots of selfie sticks being taken out in front of the Drew Barrymore photos, loads of "oohs" and "ahhs" over the slightly marbled print footwear, guests carrying around S'Well custom bottles, Spike Jonze signing copies of Mark Gonzales' custom zine
Front row quote: “I love all of the photo collage pieces. I just think it’s such an incredible and generous thing that Spike has given up all these images. They’re really special pieces, and I’m definitely going to get them myself.” —Susie Bubble
Spotted: Mark Gonzales, Mat Hoffman, YG, Rosario Dawson, Jhené Aiko, Santigold, Eva Chen, ILoveMakonnen, Vashtie, Zendaya, William Strobeck, Susie Bubble, Alex Olson, Tim Barber
Overheard: "Is that ILoveMakonnen in the corner?"
Soundtrack: JD Samson was the honorary DJ and played a selection of songs from music videos directed by Spike Jonze. The mix included “It’s Oh So Quiet” by Björk, “Island in the Sun” by Weezer, “Drop” by The Pharcyde, “Shady Lane” by Pavement, “Praise You” by Fat Boy Slim, “Sabotage” by Beastie Boys![]()
