Fashion labels Opening Ceremony and RAINS joined forces to create a collection that is ready to combat April showers. This marks the fifth time the two have collaborated and this time, the labels dropped a collection full of [water-resistant essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-outdoor-collection). The new collection features details drawn from both brands, seeing signature silhouettes from RAINS adorned with Opening Ceremony's iconic pattern designs.

The capsule sees RAINS' iconic [Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-lipglass-cushion) coats, parka, and tote completely made over in Opening Ceremony's leopard design motif in the hues of red, blue and translucent black. Additionally, branding details accent the pieces and RAINS' logo trimmings also decorate the garments.
