I know Yoko Ono's fashion designs aren't strictly movie-related, but every time I look at anything in her new collection of men's wear for the NYC boutique Opening Ceremony, all I can think is "Who cares? It's only fashion."
Stuff like this is why Zoolander remains one of the most quotable films of all time.
The international cool-kid boutique Opening Ceremony has created garments from several fashion sketches Ono made as a wedding gift to Lennon in 1969. And last night, OC feted the collection in its New York store. “She really wanted to celebrate every part that she loved about him,” OC’s co-founder Humberto Leon told The Daily Beast. And judging from the collection’s light-up codpieces ($200), pants with see-through rear window ($250), and handprint-embellished crotches ($335), it’s easy to pinpoint which of Lennon’s parts that Ono loved the most. “They’re like nipple headlights,” Ono’s son, Sean Lennon, was overheard explaining of a bandeau top baring two anatomically-positioned flashing lights ($250), “They’re great for when you ride your bike at night.”
The collection beholds additional conceptual accessories too. Like breastplate necklace baring two school bells that reads, “Ring for your Mommy” and pair of knee-high black boots featuring a set of Moroccan-type incense burners at the toe—each one only produced in a limited-edition run of 52, a number chosen for its numerology properties. “She’s an amazing artist, I think these pieces really reflect her,” Leon explained.

She gave him fashion sketches for his birthday? Man, that's worse than socks. Better than hole in the head, I guess (terrible joke, sorry). Also, am I misremembering this, or didn't Anthony Kiedis wear pants with a hand print on the crotch at some point? Like Blood Sugar Sex Magik-era Red Hot Chili Peppers? I thought it might be in the "Give It Away video," but I didn't see it. Maybe I just remembered it that way because the entire video is basically about Anthony Kiedis grabbing his dick.
I prefer the black pants/white hand print combo. I want the slimming effect of black around my waist, not on my crotch bulge.
Oh, well hello, there, Mrs. Cheevington, I didn't see you come in. I was just preparing these sausage rolls for the St. Swithin's Day celebration.
Don't look so sad, this diaper is supposed to make you feel confident.
Mmm hmm.
Hello, yes, I'll take three hand crotches and a nutsack hoodie for my cousin Jimmy.
Are you looking at something, friend?
Who says business caszh can't be fun?

Even Liz Lemon couldn’t produce an eye roll grand enough for this.
Finally, a shirt that lets me hint at my nips without being so immodest as to show them.
So she is as good at fashion as she is at music.
Yes, this is correct. No further discussion needed.
Kevin Clash’s hand strikes again.
I feel like he was Yoko’s muse for this line.
- she made the sketches as a wedding gift, not a birthday present;
- John Lennon was shot in the chest, not the head;
- anything that keeps Yoko Ono out of a recording studio is A-one okie-dokie by me.
Seconded.
Fuck me, I just bought a codpiece, and it doesn’t even light up.
Ono she di’int

Those pants metaphorically Derelicte that guy’s balls.
Warning: if the sack-cupping hand on your trousers displays the characteristics of stigmata, contact a physician immediately.
We are being dicknonosed.
I work for Opening Ceremony and I’ve been a commenter/fan of this blog for years. I’m at work right now and coming here and seeing an article on the site is blowing my mind.
FilmDrunk discounts on Nip Strips?
I went to Opening Ceremony once. It was shut.
Can we give Yoko and honourary Sacko Bowl badge?
I think Tropic Thunder had a good quote to describe her fashion line, too.
I think Yoko just likes a challenge. Someone probably said, “It’s impossible to humiliate a male model”, to which Yoko responded, “‘Impossible’ is only a state of mind”.

You’ve got to admit, that is a pretty thorough emasculation. Turns out it’s Yoko’s “Eunuch Line”.
If nothing else, I’m beginning to understand why Sean Lennon is so fruity.
Young Sean Lennon: Hey mom, can I go outside and play with my friends?
Yoko Ono: Only if you wear your nipple tassels. It’s cold out.
Damnit, Zoolander is one of my favorite movies and I can’t think up a good line to quote right now. I’m having a Sterling Archer moment. Fuck.
