Cars, Cronuts, and Oh Yeah, Clothes, at Opening Ceremony's First Show

Go big or go home. That was definitely the mentality behind Opening Ceremony's first-ever runway show, held at SuperPier 25 on the West Side Highway. And we mean big in every sense of the word. The show's space was the size of a football field. Celebrities like Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Russell Westbrook sat front row. And everybody got a freaking cronut in their gift bag. Then there's what happened on the runway.

Rachel Comey Says 'F*ck It All' to Fashion Shows

Rachel Comey scrapped her fashion show this year. Instead, she presented her spring/summer 2014 collection to a small group of friends, editors, artists, and celebrities during an intimate dinner party held at the Pioneer Works Center for Arts & Innovation all the way out in Red Hook, Brooklyn. "I just wanted to create an experience that was meaningful for me and my crew," Comey told us. "There's so much that gets drilled into you with a runway show, you have to do things a certain way, and I just wanted to fuck it all and do what I wanted to do."

Kenzo Teams Up with Toilet Paper Mag for Surreal Fall Campaign

We're having a hard time pulling our eyes away from Kenzo's Autumn/Winter 2013 ad campaign. One image features actress Rinko Kikuchi and model Sean O'Pry riding some (well-manicured) hands through the sky, another has the pair pinned onto a bug collector's display board like a horrible alternate ending to Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, and a third shows someone wearing eyeball pants, eyeball nail art, and eyeball rings, whose left foot has been replaced by a hand (Salvador Dalí would be so proud).
