.OpeningCeremony is spotlighting Mexican designers this year.
It’s been 17 years since California natives Humberto Leon and Carol Lim founded their store, Opening Ceremony. That’s long enough that we can’t blame you for, perhaps, forgetting the shop’s original principle: spotlighting a single country’s design and fashion industries for a year. After taking a couple of years off from their global highlights tour, Leon and Lim are back at it, selecting Mexico as the county to be featured across OC stores and online in 2019.
Over the past two years, Leon and his team have made six research trips to Mexico, as well as researching Mexican American designers in California, to come up with a selection of pieces that reflect the mood of Mexican design. “We ended up going out there and meeting about 85 designers that have never shown in America before,” Leon says. “We did a ton of studio visits, we went all over, to different cities, and just tried to find people who had an original voice.
“You’re only seeing the tip of what’s coming out now,” Leon continues, “Because it’s a yearlong exploration, we will be releasing new designers as the year goes on.” His hope is that in addition to raising funds for the Fondo Semillas organization that supports women in Mexico, the year of cultural conversation and crossover encourages customers to rethink the United States’s next-door neighbor.
