Why Opening Ceremony Is Called Opening Ceremony (And Not, Say, Terminal)
Last night, we had the pleasure of listening to Opening Ceremony founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim riff with Pamela Golbin, the chief curator of fashion and textiles at Paris’ Musée des Arts Décoratifs, as a part of FIAF “Fashion Talks” series, and apart from leaving with twin urges to shop ’till we dropped and quit our jobs to pursue a wild and crazy passion project with our best friend, we learned a lot about the early days of their Howard Street store. Including the rather unconventional way they came up with its name.

Last night we forwent our plans to have a quiet night at home and headed to Opening Ceremony‘s outpost at New York’s Ace Hotel, where celebrities of every stripe assembled to fete the launch of Target‘s GO International Design Collective. We reported last month that Target would be bringing back a sort of greatest hits collection of the designer collaborations they’ve done over the years, and the dresses that will hit stores again this month were out in full force — both on display and on the fabulous people who attended the party.

PHOTOS: Terry Richardson Has Many Fashionable Friends
We all know Terry Richardson is a huge creep. Like, the creepiest creep. But Terry’s creepiness hasn’t stopped him from climbing the fashion photog ranks — and staying there. Just this fall alone he’s shot for French Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Reebok and GQ. While we don’t get his appeal as a photographer (the porny trope gets really old really fast), we definitely don’t understand how or why he has so many friends in the fashion industry.
