Friday’s Opening Ceremony showcase will be designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim’s first-ever Los Angeles fashion show and experience, premiering their fall 2017 collection.

“MADE has always been a great forum for bringing creativity to life, and we’re excited to present our very first fashion show in Los Angeles on their footprint,” said the designers, who are L.A. natives, and Hollywood magnets, having collaborated before with Spike Jonze, Chloe Sevigny, Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen on past shows and collections. “Opening Ceremony has been a part of L.A.’s community for a while now, and as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our store on La Cienega, we can’t wait to take our show experience to the West Coast this June.”

On Saturday, Grammy-nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa will debut a capsule collection in collaboration with a soon-to-be-announced designer that will culminate in a live musical performance by Wiz and members of Taylor Gang. During and after the show, attendees will be able to use CALA body scan technology to create custom looks from a limited-edition Wiz capsule collection.
