It’s safe to say that we’ve had Missoni on the brain these past few weeks…from the retro-inspired ad campaigns, to the drool-worthy 400-piece lookbook and our frantic shopping spree. Needless to say, when we saw the lovely Margherita Missoni at Charlotte Ronson we had to pick the heiress’s brain about the collection–because if you needed another reminder, it goes on sale TOMORROW.

What was your favorite item from the collaboration?
There is a back and white zig zag coat that I think is really great.

Were you surprised it sold out so quickly at the New York pop-up shop?
You know, we sort of had a premonition it would, just because there was already so much, so, so much excitement online that was really good.

Will you reprise the collaboration, since it’s been so successful?
You know there is something special about the collection that I think you have to be very careful because if you do it again, it might lose that special quality.

Here’s hoping she changes her mind!

Miss Piggy Will Be at Opening Ceremony’s FNO Extravaganza to Promote New Collab Muppets x Opening Ceremony

Opening ceremony has a lot going on for their carnival-themed Fashion’s Night Out bash in and around their Ace Hotel store location.

Firstly, the beloved indie department store will announce this year’s country of focus: Argentina. They’ll be partnering with 125-year-old Argentinean textile company Alpargatas to create limited edition shoes and clothing inspired by traditional Argentinean styles–in particular, they’ll be hawking jupe-soled Alpargatas (aka espadrille-like slip-ons), which, in case you hadn’t guessed, were pioneered by the company. Opening Ceremony will also carry Argentine designers, including JUNGLE Vi.Ai.Pi., Ale Sly, and Chicco Ruiz, to customize styles, colorways, and fabrications for the retailer and brand–all of which will become available this September.

Best of all though, is that Miss Piggy (yes, really) will be stopping by the brand’s store in the Ace Hotel this Fashion’s Night Out. Why you ask? To unveil her new collection with the brand, Muppets x Opening Ceremony a.k.a the best news we’ve heard all morning (and we’d still say that even if it weren’t a dreadfully slow summer news day)! No word yet on what the line will include, but we’re hoping for some very fuzzy faux-fur coats and diva-worthy boas.

Other highlights from Opening Ceremony’s Fashion’s Night Out bash include live dance performances outfitted by Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler, Suno, and Opening Ceremony; a raffle to win a PS1 hosted by the Proenza Schouler boys, a magic show hosted by the Rodarte girls; a Tumblr-sponsored photo booth that will have your pretty mugs uploaded in real time to the brand’s just-unveiled Tumblr, and so, so much more.
