The Opening Ceremony x Reyn Spooner '22' Video Debuts New Outfits

— July 13, 2011 — Pop Culture
Fashion lookbook clips usually focus on the clothing, pulling little to no focus on the plot involved, but with the Opening Ceremony x Reyn Spooner '22' video, you find yourself looking at the entire picture.

The Opening Ceremony x Reyn Spooner '22' video is directed by Gia Coppola, and introduces some of the latest outfits from this collaborative effort. The clip shows off a group of friends enjoying the summer day through various activities that include drinking, bike riding and blowing up a watermelon. Combine that with music from Best Coast and you get the full west coast chill-out vibe most crave during the summer. As for the clothes themselves, it's all about being casual with a few shirts and dresses that have a Hawaiian/floral theme. Definitely a collection that reflects a youthful, carefree summer brilliantly.

Trend Themes

  1. Summer Fashion Chill-out — Brands could take note of this high resolution, lifestyle storytelling approach particularly for summer collections.
  2. Hawaiian/floral Theme — Clothing Brands could offer more innovative floral designs, mix with other print or offer a wider range of surf-inspired Hawaiian prints for men and women.
  3. Collaborative Effort — Fashion companies could look into collaborating with film industries to produce a lookbook that emphasizes the lifestyle of the clothing collection.

Industry Implications

  1. Fashion — Fashion brands could take advantage of the storytelling approach and maximize it through visual and social channels.
  2. Entertainment — The film industry can collaborate with fashion companies to execute brand awareness and promotion.
  3. Hospitality and Tourism — Beach resorts can latch on the tropical pattern trend in their room design and add more outdoor activities promoting the lifestyle of the summer collection.
