With the economy leaving many bruised and battered, online presence and its ability to command a much larger audience is all but a necessity in this day in age. Opening Ceremony has just pulled the covers off an all new website which in addition to providing a retail point for their own collection also gives buyers the ability to purchase select items from both the Los Angeles and New York locations. With the brand/stores team-up having included Hello Kitty, the famous cat also makes an air-borne presence on the new site, OpeningCeremony.us.

NYC’s Opening Ceremony is the store charged with putting the fun back into shopping. And a support system too - aside from their six-year-old New York store and their year-old L.A follow-up, Opening Ceremony have their own showroom dedicated to taking their protégés (and their own in-house label), getting them stocked in other places and pushing them as far as they can. A polar opposite to the cold severity of shop-as-gallery, buyer Humberto Leon has proved that retail can be human after all.
