Inspired by souvenirs and beautiful objects that one might discover while traveling, our Spring/Summer 2016 women’s collection centered around the concept of a dream home. Loose silhouettes and sumptuous fabrics were shaped by mid-century modern geometry, while decorative objects inspired prints on kimonos and tunics. Our runway show celebrated the life and work of Opening Ceremony’s dream architect: Frank Lloyd Wright. Inspired by Wright’s utopian communities which fused urban and rural living, our set featured live gardens curated by Edible Schoolyard NYC. Referencing the cultural breadth of Wright’s Taliesin school, our models were interspersed with New York City Ballet dancers who surprised the audience with a “falling dancer” performance choreographed by Justin Peck.
