Last week, clothing boutique Opening Ceremony kicked off their new store opening (29th @Broadway) with a dinner at the Ace Hotel.

Guests included Spike Jonze, Chloe Sevigny, Kirsten Dunst, Michael Stipe, Jason Schwartzman, Alex Calderwood, Margherita Missoni and of course Humberto Leon & Carol Lim.

In their own words, “Opening Ceremony recreates a shopping excursion based on four different perspectives–established designer (designers that best exemplify the country), emerging designer, one of a kind vintage pieces and select items from the open-air markets.”
