Yoko Ono's Menswear Line Is a Brilliant PR Stunt

Yoko Ono: abstract artist, obtuse celebrity, Beatles wife, woman who claims to have “so much love because the whole world hated me”. She’s not really known for subtlety, is she?

The line, creatively titled “Yoko Ono’s Fashions for Men 1969-2012”, consists of a bunch of…let’s say eccentric coats, shirts, kneepads, open-toe thigh high boots (for men, mind you) and the “lightbulb bra” pictured at left.
