Photography by Lea ColomboFashion / ShowOpening Ceremony SS14Driving ceremony; LA drag race fused with Korean delicacy for the label's NYFW debutShareLink copied ✔️September 9, 2013FashionShowTextKatherine BernardPhotographyLea ColomboOpening Ceremony SS14 Initial reaction: 2 Fast 2 Furious 2 Fucking Cool. Milestone: The first ever Opening Ceremony runway show. Viral moment: A fleet of luxury cars file into Pier 57, an unprecedented opener. References: A fusion of LA drag race culture and traditional Korean prints and garments. Unexpected details: Misty Mountains and graphic blooms taken from Korea spliced onto racing gear complete with seat-belt straps and tyre tread stripes. Plus, light-catching lucite heels. Hair: Swept back like the girls were sitting in the front seat while the guys burned rubber. Stand out look: Good luck picking just one. Start saving. Left us wanting: To fasten our seat belts for SS14. After-party: The show's conclusion fed right into the after-party's beginning at the OC Super Pier, attended by Rihanna and Justin Bieber and topped off with hot dogs, dub step and a booth with free Tenga x Opening Ceremony Japanese sex toys. Impact: Sports influence is holding fast in New York, pulling not from athleticism but from the street fashion that athletes inspire.
