NEW YORK — The fashion label Opening Ceremony never disappoints when it comes to finding inventive ways to present its wares at New York Fashion Week. This time, the label went arguably further outside the confines of Fashion Week, which begins early next month. It ditched the runway completely and instead invited hundreds of guests to the ballet on Saturday night, showing its designs on the writhing, leaping, athletic bodies of the New York City Ballet. Some of the ballet’s best moments were shared between Justin Peck, performing his own work, and Fairchild, both in jeans and white sneakers, flying across the stage in unison. The free beer promised by Peck was handed out in plastic cups, and Baltimore-based electronic musician Dan Deacon — the composer of Peck’s ballet — served as DJ.
