To celebrate our ninth year in business, frame making gurus Illesteva have given us quite the stunning birthday gift – and don’t worry, it’s one that you can get your hands on. Their new limited eyewear collection, Illesteva für Opening Ceremony im Ace Hotel, includes three models that are limited to only three pieces each. Produced in one of Germany’s oldest eye wear factories, Illesteva spared no expense when hand-crafting each style.

When you’ve checked out of your hotel room and rush to JFK to catch the red eye home, all you really have to look forward to in the near future is maybe getting some rest on the long way home. Lucky for you, one of our favorite designers, Phillip Lim, has created just the thing to assure that you do so in style. This multi-use super soft blanket works as a shawl to sport while you’re waiting for your taxi, a blanket to cozy up to at the terminal gate, a hooded cape to keep off the in-flight chills, and wraps up into a pillow to snuggle with (hopefully you got the window seat). As if that isn’t enough, he threw in an eye mask to assure you get the rest you deserve. What more is there to ask for?

non plus one final from Tracy ANTONOPOULOS on Vimeo.
To celebrate the grand opening of our new Ace shop, Humberto enlisted friends and budding directors Gia Coppola and Tracy Antonopoulos to create a short film featuring friends of O.C. Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman. Kirsten and Jason, who are decked out in recent arrivals from O.C.'s S/S2010 collection, share a sweet and playful chemistry, very artfully captured by Gia and Tracy on this nostalgia-inducing, vintage-feeling montage. "We were influenced by 60s New Wave films and my uncle's house," said Gia. Jason lends both acting and musical talents for the short film, which features the song "Is Sound OK?" from the Davy, the most recent release from his musical project Coconut Records. Expect more from these two talented directors in the next year: Gia recently graduated from Bard College, while Tracy is finishing up at NYU's Gallatin School.

You can bet we know a thing or two about travel. Between buying trips to Europe four times per year, visits to our Japan and LA stores, international inspiration hunts, and the occasional vacation here and there, we have tested many a travel bag. When Carol, our CEO and co-founder, began her career after college, she purchased a beloved Tumi carry-on. The bag, which maintains its near perfect condition till this very day, is all about durability, utility, and no frills precision--the essential attributes that make Tumi luggage the perfect complement to our growing Ace shop assortment.

In case you thought the Opening Ceremony collaborations could go no further, we have expanded into new and even-more-unexpected terrain: condoms!

And finally, a few months later, we're ready to unveil the final product.

A style perhaps as antiquated as some see letter writing itself, the feather pen has seen a variety of notable historical patrons - from John Hancock to Cher Horowitz, and now you as you write postcards home from your hotel room. This feather pen bears as much of an importance as the previous historical artifacts mentioned, as it marks our collaboration with one of our favorite and most revered labels, Maison Martin Margiela. As the first co-branding project in Margiela's history, the Maison Martin Margiela for Opening Ceremony pen features a white Bic pen adorned with either an Ostrich or a Goose plume, all in white. We propose that it may just make letter writing come back after all. MORE
