Something Else by Natalie Wood
Something Else is Wood's higher end collection, an artful collaboration that allows Natalie to experiment with even more directional styling than 'Something', and offers up a broad array of beautiful and clever graphics and prints, fused with clashes of colour and intricate textile placement on a variety of fabrications.
Secrets of Charm
Inspired by their grandmother Helen Pegalis, whose impeccable style and good grace reminded them of the 1954 classic book, "Secrets of Charm,"sisters Estee and Sharon Elkayam started the Secrets of Charm clothing line in 2004. With a passion for clothing, films and art, Estee and Sharon have created a collection that is a beautiful blend of vintage, feminine pieces with a modern sensibility.

Chloe Sevigny Line
Starting this February, Opening Ceremony will be home to Sevigny's first eponymous collection—a line chock-full of classic, everyday pieces reminiscent of punk, rockabilly, and Darien, Connecticut, where she spent her pre-Lanvin years.
Here's the interview by the author of Dear Diary, Lesley Arfin...
Lesley Arfin: Everyone thinks you're a style genius. What was one of your favorite outfits in high school?
Chloë Sevigny: Gosh, that's tough. Lets say freshmen year since that's what I was drawing on for the collection. It would have been 1989. [I wore] my steel-toe wingtip Doc Martens with thigh-high black tights, and a white smock dress I bought at an outdoor flea market in Manhattan. I had this crazy dragon patch that I sewed to the breast part. I'd wear that with an Alice band and an oversized jean jacket, and maybe a black mock turtleneck if it was cold.
LA: What's the one article of clothing you absolutely can't live without?
CS: A gray cardigan. I like the oversized men's styles, slightly Mr. Rogers, preferably long enough to cover my ass, and with pockets I can shove my hands into when I get nervous in social situations, which is a constant. My close friend Bryce always says, 'What a surprise, you're wearing the ubiquitous cardigan.' I actually have seven.
LA: Is there anything you've coveted for a long time, fashion-wise, that you finally decided to splurge on?
CS: I've always been a frugal yank. Recently, though, I've decided to treat myself to the ultimate fashion splurge, an alligator handbag. I've been researching them and found a company in Texas called Alexander Knight who makes custom order bags with no hardware or labels, you can choose everything right down to the lining, then have your initials embossed or your name engraved on a silver plate and attached to the inside. Nice!
LA: Who are some of your fashion icons?
CS: Women who are outrageous yet effortless. Liz Goldwyn, Cecilia Dean, Angelica Houston, Marlene Dietrich, Debbie Harry, Poison Ivy, Slim Keith, Patti Smith—women who own their looks and themselves. Never looking uncomfortable in your outfit, or skin for that matter is a must.

LA: What is your favorite thing in your new line, Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony?
CS: Probably the shoes. An ankle wedge can go so far—it's limitless.
LA: Who is your ideal customer?
CS: I hope there is something in the line that appeals to any and every kind of girl. Of course, a ripped-tight-wearing girl such as yourself would always hold more of an appeal to my eye.

LA: What music inspired your line?
CS: The Cramps, Johnny Thunders and Patti Palladin, Lizzie Mercier, The Slits, The Shangri La's.
LA: What movie character has the best style?
CS: Little Orphan Annie!!!!!! Christiane F., any character in a Fassbinber movie. Linda Manns in Out of the Blue, Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club, and Sally Bowles from Cabaret.
LA: What are some of your favorite clothing stores right now?
CS: I still mostly shop second hand. Tokyo 7 is always very reliable when in a bind. And I always like Resurrection, Cherry, Exquisite Costume, and Atomic Passion. As far as new retailers, I'd say Opening Ceremony and Barneys.
LA: If you had a pet kitten, what would you name it?
CS: Sabbath after the little girl in Flannery O'Conner's Wiseblood.

Samantha Pleet spring '08
Samantha Pleet short film featuring her spring '08 collection, kinda remind us of Alice in Wonderland...must see!!
Fred Perry 'Laurel' range autumn '07
Fred Perry is the only clothing that has retained and developed its unique roots in music. For the last 50 years the brand has been adopted by all the major UK subcultures from the early mod's in the late 50's through the recent rise of indie guitar music.
The Fred Perry Laurel range offers heritage styles in authentic colours and fabrication including the Fred Perry shirt, the cardigan, v-neck sweater and Harrington style jacket.
The range has a definate 'Terry Hall' influence and references, through its use of monochrome, the ska record label 'Two Tone' and through its use of bright highlight colours the new wave guitar scene - a movement championed-and promoted by the 'Stiff' record label.
