OC's Carol and Humberto at Kenzo! Opening Ceremony rules !

We are happy to congratulate Opening Ceremony's founders, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, on their appointment as creative directors of Kenzo. Carol and Humberto must be so excited to work with the storied French house, started in 1970 by the legendary Kenzo Takada. As a Japanese designer in Paris, Kenzo brought an inclusive and bright diversity to ready-to-wear and beyond, with indelible ideas such as the wild "Jungle Jap" retail concept. This exuberance in fashion is echoed by Opening Ceremony. Félicitations!

Olivia Kim, VP of Creative, Opening Ceremony

“I love tattoos—I love the idea that it’s permanent, and I love the idea that it really marks where you are in your life at that time. I think people are scared of that permanence but I feel like, it’s ok, you can always move on, you can cover it, you can take it off if you don’t like it. I remember everything about each one. I got the first one when I was 14. My mom went out to dinner and my sister and I had a party, and as soon as all the people came, I left with a friend who was older and had a car—he was a senior and I was a freshman—and we went to a tattoo parlor in middle-of-nowhere New Jersey and I got a butterfly on my stomach. So then after that, I got a Jenny Holzer phrase along the bottom of my stomach, and then I just started going from there. I have, like, the gross tramp stamp…and then I started getting into this idea that I wanted things that were really pretty—I didn’t care if they matched or not, and I met Scott Campbell who’s one of my really good friends. We would just hang out and play. Another friend of mine, C-Jay, focuses on miniature tattoos—he puts on these gemologist goggles and looks up and his eyes are HUGE, and he uses really tiny needles. I have so many tattoos. They’re everywhere but my legs—my best friend Carol won’t let me do my legs. I also want some on my feet but I’m not allowed…so I think I’m going to sneak them. I always wear socks, even in the summertime. But I love pedicures—I go all the time with Jen [Brill]; we go once a week together at Spazio. My hands are really chipped right now—but it’s all OPI, and she just laid it on really thick.
