Opening Ceremony x London

Photographs of the new Opening Ceremony commuter shop at Tokyo's Shinjuku train station.

Man, this is such exciting news. Opening Ceremony are to open a pop-up shop on Covent Garden's King Street this July as a savvy celebration of the London Olympics and a permanent store with follow in the Autumn. Who doesn't love Opening Ceremony? A trip to New York is never quite complete without a visit to their Howard Street outpost for a peek at their constantly awesome and innovative collaborations and a wander around their deliciously designed floors. I can't wait to have a UK-based Opening Ceremony to call our own. I'm particularly excited about being able to go in a coo over endless pairs of chunky Marques Almeida shoes (Opening Ceremony are one of only 3 stockists), 'Radarte' Rodarte tees, the Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony collection (duh) and having a peruse of the collaborations with both Adidas and Topshop which will launch along with the pop-up store. 

Fingers crossed also for some awesome Kenzo decor in the same style as the SS12 displays seen at Harvey Nichols (see Susie's post here..) and the possibility of some sort of accompanying eatery. It is a 3,000 square foot store after all..
