Yoko Ono Wants To Be A Designer - Sorta

Filed Under: Collection's Bureau

Yoko Ono is adding designer to her list of accomplishments stuff she's done.

Teaming up with Threeasfour's Gabi, Adi, and Ange, Ono gave the designers inspiration as well as lending her dot drawings to prints for the garments.

Ono said, "I was always interested in expressing art through clothes. I think there is an incredible connection. It's almost like sculpture, but you can wear them."

Threeasfour's Gabi said, "It seems the energy was flowing between her team and us. She comes more from the art and music world and is a performer, which are all elements we identify with."

In an attempt to reach out to a larger demographic, Threeasfour is lowering their normally $1000+ pricetags for this collection, which will sell from $111 to $888.

But don't expect Ono to take up fashion as a full time gig: she says, "I think it is much nicer when you are making a slight difference by somebody else touching your art and participating and adding creativity. I like that."

We're intrigued! Interested to see the collection, but as of yet, no word on when it will hit the stores and where it will be available.
