Opening Ceremony Showroom

With a trip to New York planned this year it would seem my attention is back on all the amazing shopping destinations this wonderful city has to offer. Badger has some lovely new shoes from Opening Ceremony but my interests are more focused on the showroom which was founded in 2003 and currently represents over twenty international and domestic designer collections in categories including ready-to-wear, accessories, and footwear.

Opening Ceremony Showroom's approach mirrors the spirit of the company. Through travel, the showroom has developed relationships with brands from around the world, offering a platform for these designers to grow their own businesses.  Most of the collections in the showroom have been carried at the Opening Ceremony retail boutiques for at least a season, which allows the showroom to provide honest responses from customers' perspectives to these designers and the buyers who are interested in carrying the lines for their own stores. 

The showroom seeks a designer that will work cohesively with current collections, while adding a new element that is not yet represented. Additionally, Opening Ceremony Showroom operates satellite showrooms in Paris and Los Angeles four times a year to truly offer designers an international agenda.

I've already been talking about some of the lovely labels it showcases such as Unearthen and Suno but can't wait to browse in person. Already wishing the year away but roll on November...
