To Celebrate Their New Collaboration, Opening Ceremony and Peter Do Hosted a Lower East Side Fete

Last night, the cool kids descended on the Lower East Side to celebrate Opening Ceremony’s new collaboration with Peter Do. Covered in graffiti and strung with Christmas lights, Nam Son may seem like an unlikely venue for a fashion party. However, the unpretentious Vietnamese restaurant matched the downtown ethos of the capsule collectsion. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim founded Opening Ceremony 20 years ago. Despite closing its brick-and-mortar in 2021, the brand continues to flourish. The pieces designed with Do—a twist on OC’s classic varsity jackets—will launch Farfetch’s latest retail platform, Farfetch Beat. 

Bubble_T, the queer Asian collectsive, turned tracks and kept the energy high. At the very busy bar, the Vietnamese influence continued with specialty cocktails like the “Lime Soda Chanh” and the “Sông Cái Gin and Tonic.” Revelers sipped these libations while platters of banh mi and shrimp balls circulated the room. Along with Leon, Lim, and Do, guests included Bowen Yang and May Hong. Drag performances by West Dakota, Panthera, and Dynasty delighted and surprised the crowd.
