Artist, performer, and socialite extraordinaire Yoko Ono recently premiered her 52-piece menswear collection, which is currently available at New York’s Opening Ceremony, and will eventually hit stores in Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. Based on drawings she gave to John Lennon as a wedding present in 1969, “Fashions for Men” features bold cuts, bright neons, and hand-shaped appliques in one mystifying mishmosh parade of club wear. “I was inspired to create ‘Fashions for Men,’ amazed at how my man was looking so great,” Ono has said. “I felt 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.”
As you might expect after reading that, the resulting collection is quite risqué. It leaves us in awe and with so many questions! Like… Do we really need a couture jock strap? Why are there reception desk bells hanging off of the lovely transparent bra thingy? That sweatshirt drawing print: Are those balls or a butt? Check out some fashionable specimens highlighted at Four Pins, and help us decide.
