Stars take the stage for unique New York fashion show performance
Actors including Catherine Keener, Elle Fanning and Bobby Cannavale took to the stage for a one-act play as part of the Opening Ceremony brand's New York Fashion Week runway show on Sunday (07Sep14).
The fashion house's founders and creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon showcased their spring 2015 collection at a unique venue and invited celebrities and style mavens alike to the iconic Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.
Guests were escorted through the back of the theater and ushered to
their seats, which were placed on the same stage as the performers
in the hour-long play starring Fanning, who was making her stage
debut, Keener, Cannavale, Alia Shawkat, John Cameron Mitchell,
Rashida Jones, and models Dree Hemingway and Karlie Kloss.
Titled 100% Lost Cotton, the production featured model characters
played by Fanning and Hemingway waiting for a fitting at an Opening
Ceremony runway show. Mitchell and Keener played versions of
designers Lim and Leon, while Cannavale served as a stylist
secretly in love with Leon's husband.
100% Lost Cotton was written by filmmaker Spike Jonze and actor
Jonah Hill, who jokingly reminded the audience before the show
began that it was his first foray into the theater.
Among the guests checking out the one-of-a-kind runway show was
Fanning's older sister Dakota, Yoko Ono, Rosario Dawson, Chloe
Sevigny, Skrillex, Joe Jonas, Alexa Chung, Mindy Kaling and Arcade
Fire's Win Butler.
