Fashion designers: Opening Ceremony
In The Studio follows OC鈥檚 directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim through the process of creating their Pre-Spring 2019 collection.
The fashion label Opening Ceremony is led by its Asian-American creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, who are also the co-creative directors at fashion house Kenzo. Since it began in 2002, the pair have developed Opening Ceremony into a brand known for its bold clothing design, social activism and for artistic partnerships with film-maker Spike Jonze and the New York City Ballet amongst others.
In an exclusive programme, In The Studio follows Humberto and Carol through the entire process of creating their Pre-Spring 2019 collection. Simon Pitts joins the pair at their NYC Chinatown offices, learning about the cycle from initial design through to the final show. We hear how Carol and Humberto鈥檚 background as children of immigrants inspires their work and Simon meets the wider OC team who shape the designs, source materials and work out the crucial price points for each garment.
This programme was originally broadcast in September 2018 and has been updated to show what happened to the fashion collection once it went into the stores.
