We will get to enjoy a champagne and hors d’oeuvres reception and chat with co-founder, Ms. Carol Lim about her inspiration and design process during this private and intimate affair. As VIP guests, we will have first dibs at not only previewing the Fall/Winter 2013 collection but also the opportunity to pre-order our favorite pieces! While browsing this highly anticipated collection, there will be music by special guest DJ Drop The Lime who will be spinning a few songs made famous by a legendary artist who also inspired Opening Ceremony’s new collection.

To round out the evening of fashionable fun, a special 20% discount will be offered to American Express Cardmembers for all items in the store (excluding the FW2013 collection). The evening will conclude with a special memento from Opening Ceremony and American Express. American Express makes this event possible. Opening Ceremony is part of a program at American Express where they celebrate Cardmembers and their sources of inspiration and follow the creative process.

Two lucky winners will be chosen from the comments in this post and announced on Thursday, April 25th, 2013 at 2:00 PM ET to attend the VIP event (with a guest) and receive a $50 American Express gift card to shop the collection. GOOD LUCK!
