Everyone always says print is a dying medium, but it seems to be evolving just fine as magazines become more of a collector’s item rather than a monthly offering. Opening Ceremony is naturally hip to the trend and is launching a collectible fashion and culture magazine this August called OC Annual.

In a multi-textured cavalcade of newly minted silhouettes, Eckhaus Latta has stepped out as one of the freshest design duos of the moment. With fuzzy crop tops for men and other highly versatile pieces, the designers construct garments that they want to be wearing. Pieces that look editorial when it’s all Eckhaus Latta, but fall separately into wearable layering pieces. The result is truly eye opening.

We’ve got the Friday night special in the form of leather mistress Zana Bayne. Self-taught in the craft, she has the kind of design eye that brings the kink to this side of chic. She has harnessed the power of Lady Gaga and Prabal Gurung in the form of videos and ongoing collaborations. She’s powerful. This kickass Brooklynite applied her study of conceptual art to leather and the body, and one of the main thoughts it has me pondering (aside from historical connotations of leather in S&M, objectification of the human body, feminist ideals, etcetera) is how late is Patricia Field open? I might just pick one up tonight.

Fashion Week is here in all its sequined glory, and we’re carefully but surely finalizing our wardrobe for the week. If you’re still searching for that special pair of statement shoes for the occasion, look no further than Miss Bernadette 2 from Opening Ceremony. Standing on a 140 mm velvet platform heel, this leather retro t-strap pump has a double buckle ankle strap for extra support when trudging through the tents. Get them now before those other bitches do.

Before you get out your paint buckets and call me Cruella Deville, note these fly sneakers are made of faux dalmatian fur. Opening Ceremony scored an exclusive with Italian sneaker brand Forfex, so you can’t find these cool kid sneakers anywhere else. Immaculate white soles and laces are surrounded by a familiar black-spotted fur that conjures memories of summer and fire hydrants and the playful nature of the creatures themselves. Suitable for both men and women, but remember to size down, ladies.

William Okpo is the brainchild of sisters Lizzy and Darlene Okpo for the contemporary, confident woman. Named as an ode to their father whose killer style has always been an inspiration to them, the Okpo sisters have garnered a lot of attention in the past year. The brand is sold at Opening Ceremony in NY and LA; they have become street style stars for their amazing wardrobe, accessories and long locks; and they recently teamed with Brook&Lyn to create a cape and pouch. We caught up with the Brooklyn-based design duo to find out what it’s like working with a family member, their current muse and guilty pleasures.
