Considering the Opening Ceremony Fall/Winter 2015 NYFW presentation was the first time that Spike Jonze saw some of his own archival 35mm photographs that inspired this season's collection, we've also been excited to hear his personal recollection of the imagery. "When I walked into the gallery where the show was, I was seeing some of those photos for the first time since I'd shot them," says Spike. "It was pretty trippy."

But what has yet to be revealed is Spike's own personal stories behind some of the images that were translated into digital prints this season. Up until now, Spike's photos have been worth a thousand of his own words. But with the recent release of Photos by Spike, his self-directed video that showcases some of the photographs that were included in the presentation and collection, Spike caught up with Opening Ceremony co-founder Humberto Leon to touch on the photographs that inspired the collection.

On the Opening Ceremony website, we provide the full interview from the video interview, where Spike and Humberto get together to talk about the first time they met, the nostalgia of Kodak boxes, and Spike's favorite photo from the show.
