When Humberto Leon opened Chifa with his family in 2021, they asked him to be the restaurant’s waiter. For six months, he was the only wait staff at the Eagle Rock eatery. “During the pandemic it was how I was going out and meeting people,” he said. His experience working the front of house inspired a food-centric fall 2022 Opening Ceremony collection of dietary restriction T-shirts and supersized vegetable decor. The bright colors, peppy mood, and easygoing silhouettes reflect Leon’s vibe right now: Happy, joyous, sunny, and very L.A.
But there’s more to the story: Nearly 90% of this collection, he estimates, is made from jersey. The “cable knit” sets? Actually patched jersey. The fleece blazers and mohair-looking argyle knits? Also made from treated jersey. Moving to Italian factories as a part of the New Guards Group has done wonders for the fabric development and finesse of OC ready-to-wear. Still after a catch-up with Leon, one thing is missing: Opening Ceremony’s special sauce. Bringing people together was the brand’s forte, through its stores, events, and performances. Maybe next season will be a dinner party at Chifa?
