Who shows the showmen? Baz Luhrmann, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber were all in the crowd tonight at Opening Ceremony's first runway show.
Humberto Leon and Carol Lim invited the reigning gods of silver screen and arena pop for the purpose of out-entertaining them.
The reference, the designers said after the show, was to the car-craziness of their suburban, Southern California youth, where street races in abandoned washes were the entertainment of choice.
That influence coupled with an homage to Lim's background and a loose interpretation of traditional Korean garments.
The crossed-strap tops owed roughly equal debts to wrapped Korean jeogori jackets and seat belts.
The rest navigated a path between streetwear and fashion: culottes like upscale basketball shorts, oversize neoprene T-shirt tops, cargo shorts, and tank dresses.

In technically savvy jacquard and elegant crepe, they had a shiny insta-appeal.
But at the center of the maelstrom, the collection's bright snazziness belied a reticence to test the boundaries of its lane.
It may be that the clothes struggled to be heard over pomp and circumstance's roar.
