When I think of the brand Pendleton I think of warm blankets and wooly home accessories, and occasionally the name brings to mind conservative woolen outfits and prim and proper clothing. This is what I see:
So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this AWESOME dress from Pendleton for Opening Ceremony.
According to the Shopbop.com web site …”Fashion rebels at Opening Ceremony, known for their avant-garde boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, discovered a partner in heritage textiler Pendleton when they visited century-old woolen mills in Oregon in 2009. The result of their collaboration is Pendelton Meets Opening Ceremony, a collection of artfully constructed pieces in timeless plaids, intricate patterns, and brilliant hues. Inspired by American legends and world travelers, this line brings out the stylish free spirit in all.”
I love these jackets and the messenger bag! The mini skirt is fantastic. The vibrant colors are great for the dreary winter months, and bold prints can work for daytime casual as well as downtown funk. Definitely not your mother’s Pendleton! You can find most of these pieces, along with many other vibrant selections at Openingceremony.us/.
