In 2002, when Carol Lim and Humberto Leon opened the downtown Manhattan retail shop Opening Ceremony, they created what has become the most innovative fashion and culture destination in New York. Bringing together the best emerging American talent with international designers and historic brands, Opening Ceremony represents the best in fashion and has played a vital role in launching the careers of many young designers. Celebrating the company s tenth anniversary, Opening Ceremony is a visually rich documentation of Leon and Lim s diverse inspirations, collaborators, and creative community, including Ryan McGinley, Rodarte, and Alexander Wang. A celebratory look at New York s quintessential style headquarters, this book will captivate and inspire readers from fashion, art, music, film, and beyond.

When they met for the first time in Los Angeles in 1993, the Beastie Boys and Spike Jonze were rising stars of their respective fields - the golden ages of both east coast hip hop and MTV. Immediately a connection formed between the three MCs and the young filmmaker, which has lasted throughout their careers. Twenty-five years later, this book collects for the first time more than two hundred of Spike Jonze's personal photographs of his time spent with the Beastie Boys. Edited and with an afterword by Jonze, and including a foreword by Horovitz, this book shows the greatest act of the hip hop generation in their truest colours as only a close friend could see them. From going on stage at Lollapalooza to writing together at Mike D's apartment; getting into character for a video to dressing up as old men to hit the basketball court; recording an album in the studio in Los Angeles to goofing around in barber shops. From the music video to Sabotage to the cover of the Sounds of Science album, Spike Jonze is responsible for some of the most iconic images of the band ever made - but here, the emphasis is on the candid, the unexpected, and the real.

"I'm Here" is the latest film from director Spike Jonze (of "Where the Wild Things Are" fame), a half-hour narrative short that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2010 and was released on the movie's own website in March. "I'm Here" is your typical boy-robot-librarian-meets-girl-robot-free-spirit, boy-robot-librarian-gets-girl-robot-free-spirit in truth, "I'm Here," a whimsical and touching look at love among robots in contemporary L.A., isn't typical of anything, and neither is this charming book, which provides spreads of color stills from the movie. "I'm Here" isn't drawn or stop-motion animation; the movie is live action, with the actors wearing wonderfully awkward costumes concocted of obsolete computer parts. The performers concealed beneath all this hard-molded plastic are British actors Andrew Garfield ("Boy A," "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," "The Social Network") and Sienna Guillory ("Love, Actually"; the television miniseries "Helen of Troy").
