The Yoko Ono collection for Opening Ceremony, called "Fashions for Men: 1969-2012" was released yesterday, and left us at a loss for words. The collection is based on a batch of sketches titled "Fashions for Men" that Ono gave to her late husband John Lennon for their wedding in 1969. The simple drawings of clothing were made with Lennon acting as Ono's muse. "I made this whole series with love for his hot bod and gave it to him as a wedding present," Ono explained. So, instead of trying to make sense of this limited-edition collection ourselves, we decided to channel lyrics from the original inspiration and his band the Beatles to help us figure it out.
