Opening Ceremony

When Opening Ceremony debuted in New York in 2002, it was the first shop to rotate themes, and while there are now emulators, it still does it best. Each year, the focus shifts to talent from a different country (the store's favorite lines stick around to join a home team of sorts). In its latest incarnation, it was devoted to Japan, with labels like Cosmic Wonder and Hiromi Tsuyoshi. The L.A. offshoot dwells in Charlie Chaplin's old dance studio, which makes for a cool, warren-like shopping experience; upstairs is a mini mall, with in-store boutiques for Topshop and Acne.
