Opening Ceremony founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim brought "everything we love about New York to L.A." last March by opening a boutique on La Cienega. It's been an entire year since the ribbon cutting, and it looks like all that time in California has rubbed off. For Spring 2008, there's a noticable infusion of left coast in Opening Ceremony's collection. Leon describes it as "East Coast relatives visiting West Coast relatives." It's like two versions of a Sunday outting--one more refined family brunch, the other beachcomber casual--that can easily be styled together.
