Yoko Ono's John Lennon-inspired menswear line – in pictures

Yoko Ono collection: Yoko Ono Collection For Opening Ceremony
Yoko Ono once made a film called Bottoms, which consisted of a succession of naked rears. These trousers with a hole cut out of the seat enable you to recreate it Photograph: Black Frame

Don't fancy the arseless trousers? Try a pink suit with one black sleeve and skintight leggings Photograph: Black Frame

Ono's bum fixation continues with this hoodie, which features what appears to be someone's rear (or is it a scrotum?) drawn on the front. The trousers are ideal for anyone wanting to look as if they've been groped by a painter and decorator Photograph: Black Frame

One of Yoko Ono's most famous works is Cut Piece, a performance in which she invited the audience to scissor off her clothes. This peekaboo suit will enable you to feel how she did halfway through Photograph: Black Frame

The kneepads of these trousers pay homage to another Ono artwork, a film that depicted a fly crawling around a woman's naked body Photograph: Black Frame

Is it a garment? Is it a sandwich board? Clear Perspex and Black Leather With Silver Chrome Bells is a bold and possibly festive choice for this year's Christmas parties. If a bit on the chilly side Photograph: Black Frame

Ono said that her clothes were designed to show off Lennon's 'very sexy bod'. There's certainly no hiding place for a beer gut in this sheer peekaboo top Photograph: Black Frame

Don't fancy a pair of bells on your nipples? Some eyes may be a safer choice Photograph: Black Frame

It's those bells again – this time worn on a belt. But what are the things on the nipples? Apertures that you can unzip, of course. Are you square or something? Photograph: Black Frame

Imagine John Lennon wearing this ensemble – it's easy if you try. Perhaps the colour was inspired by Strawberry Fields Forever, while another handprint on the crotch speaks volumes about Ono's attraction to her Beatle Photograph: Black Frame

Possibly the most outrageous item in a collection that's not short on gasps, this is a black spandex codpiece with an LED light – a snip at $200 (£124). Like the rest of the clothes, only 52 have been made. If you fancy it, you can buy it here Photograph: Black Frame
