Safe to say that Saturday's BBQ party for the official grand opening of Opening Ceremony's LA parking lot on La Cienega was THE coolest May Day party to be at for Los Angeles style afficionados.
Ccommissioned by OCLA's founders Humberto Leon & Carol Lim as the first of a series of outdoors art installation to showcase the work of West Coast artists, director Spike Jonze's adorable air dancers piece, "You & Me on La Cienega," set a playful mood to the event (i.e. Air dancers = oversized baloons that "dance" in the wind).
"Who doesn’t love an air dancer?," Lim told Style.com.
We agree! Check out the rad styles spotting by Jt.com's LA team below:
