Spike Jonze: Mourir Auprès de Toi on Nowness.com.

After a making of preview, we can present today the full short animated video that celebrated filmmaker Spike Jonze created in collaboration with French designer Olympia Le-Tan – “Mourir Auprès De Toi”.

“Designer Olympia Le-Tan’s embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze’s tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of iconic first-edition book covers. “It’s such a beautiful and romantic place,” offers Le-Tan of the antiquarian bookstore. “The perfect setting for our story!” The project started after Jonze asked for a Catcher in the Rye embroidery to put on his wall and the plucky Le-Tan asked for a film in return. Enlisting French filmmaker Simon Cahn to co-direct, the team wrote the script between Los Angeles and Paris over a six month period, before working night and day animating the 3,000 pieces of felt Le-Tan had cut by hand. “I love getting performances from, telling stories about and humanizing things that aren’t human,” said Jonze of working with Le-Tan’s characters. After spending five years adapting Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are, Jonze’s recent shorts include robot love story I’m Here and an inspired G.I. Joe-starring video for The Beastie Boys. “A short is like a sketch,” he says. “You can have an idea or a feeling and just go and do it.” Here the iconic director reveals his creative process to writer Maryam L’Ange.”

Read an interview with Jonze about the project over at Nowness.

Opening Ceremony gives us a look into director and producer Spike Jonze’s new “air dancer” installation that launched this past weekend at OCLA. “Our parking lot was jammed packed with guests galore eating tasty treats and topping off their outfits with new balloon hats, while others were busy getting their nails Minx’d by Naja, our Minx Master. All in all, it was the perfect summer jump off!”

“BFFs since their Sophomore year at Berkeley, Carol and Humberto don’t just finish each others sentences, they have a mystical talent of speaking the same ones simultaneously. As part of his “Spike Spends Saturday With…” series for Vice’s VBS.tv, Spike Jonze takes a look behind the scenes at OC through Carol and Humberto’s eyes, uncovering a history lesson on Opening Ceremony that some of us didn’t even know the extent of! Example: Ratatat had their first ever performance in our Howard Street shop. Get educated and enjoy Spike’s awesome interview!”

Whenever we hear of a brand making clothing inspired by Where The Wild Things Are, we are a little worried that they take it too far and make it too playful, which is most of the times the case. Even the more refreshing it is to see that Opening Ceremony and Spike Jonze worked on a serious (ok, maybe except for the playsuit) collection that hints at the characters of the iconic book and soon to come film.

“The line features a full range of faux fur pieces for both men and women, subtly evoking Max’s crew of wild friends including Carol, Judith, K.W., Douglas, and Bull. The line even includes Max’s iconic one-piece playsuit – complete with furry-eared hood and raccoon tail. To top it off, Pamela Love has also contributed to the project, creating silver and brass men’s and women’s jewelry inspired by the film’s iconography.”

The Where the Wild Things Are collection debuts this Monday, September 28th at Opening Ceremony stores.

Many more images of the mens and womens collection, as well as accessories, follow after the jump.
