Yoko Ono Designs Line With Opening Ceremony
Yoko Ono has teamed up with Opening Ceremony to create a limited-edition menswear collection called Entitled Fashions for Men.
Adidas, Topshop and Swarovski collaborations, a new magazine and London store opening, designers/retailers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim have yet another project up their chic sleeves.
According to Women's Wear Daily, the range is inspired by a series of sketches she drew for her late husband, John Lennon, for their wedding in 1969.
"I was inspired to create Fashions for Men amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt that it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod. So, I made this whole series with love for his hot bod and gave it to him as a wedding present. You can imagine how he went wild and fell in love with me even more."
"I think that she just fell in love with John's body and wanted to show off all of the parts of his body that she loved," Opening Ceremony co-founder Humberto Leon told WWD. "There's something so beautiful about that sentiment. And we've realised these designs in pretty actual terms of how she drew them."
The limited-edition line will feature 18 different funky styles, with only 52 pieces made of each.
Hoodies start at $75, with prices reaching to $750 for a pair of leather boots.
Launching next week, each piece will be accompanied by a book featuring Ono's drawings.
