Fashion Week has come and gone, and now it's time to buy, buy, buy. One of my longtime favorite designers is Jeremy Scott, and this year, he's done a beautiful thing: offer me something I can actually afford!
Ah yes, behold Jeremy Scott's Swatch collection. The three styles offered cut nothing away from Scott's signature style (the wings!), and yet are super affordable at $70 each. Seriously, $70 for some legit Scott swag. And how can you go wrong with such an awesome watch? Get yours now here.
As far boutiques in L.A. go, Opening Ceremony's got to be the hippest and most drool-worthy around. Built upon the simple idea of highlighting styles from different countries and designers from all over the world, the company's grown this past year to build a credible reputation in creating some of fashion's best collaborations. Among them? Keds, Levi's, Chloe Sevigny, Jeremy Scott, Terence Koh and Sanrio (yes, Hello Kitty!), to name a few, with each collab bringing something fresh and new to the style plate.
But where Opening Ceremony gets even more fun is outside of their fashion realm--with a little help from their many hip celeb friends, of course. Here is a too-cute music video starring (my fave!) Jason Schwartzman (who's helped out OC before) and Kirsten Dunst, featuring music from Schwartzman's musical venture Coconut Records, and created by Gia Coppola (yes, that Coppola) and Tracy Antonopoulos: Opening Ceremony also recently promoted another amazing collab not actually involving themselves, by getting Solange Knowles to join the stage with Dirty Projectors to duet on "Stillness is the Move," the DP song Knowles had infamously surprise-covered online. Part of that performance can be seen at the end of this video here, which also happens to be an interview segment on OC created by Spike Jonze.
For Opening Ceremony, it's not name-dropping when they just happen to be your friends, and when you've got the awesome products to back up your cred.
In downtown Los Angeles, years ago, we met while working as editorial assistants at the Los Angeles Times. Today, we're still young, thirsty female journalists, on various paths of life (Chau in Silver Lake and Leslie in Brooklyn), here to deliver our best finds from this city and beyond, via the BEAT of young los angeles. Get comfortable and stay a while. Check back often!
