The John & Yoko by JMM collection debuts two exclusive frame styles paying homage to the enduring creative partnership between John Lennon and Yoko Ono. With design cues pulled directly from the glasses they wore during the making of their landmark 1980 album Double Fantasy, these frames are both historicly inluenced and an artistic expression. Handcrafted in Japan using sustainable plant-based acetate and finished with precious metal detailing, the collection elevates memory into masterpiece.
Ocean Child: A Tribute to Yoko’s Vision
The Ocean Child frame draws directly from the eyewear Yoko Ono wore in the studio while working with Lennon. Its oversized, rounded-square lens shape, offset temples, and distinctive sculptural silhouette reflect both a fashion-forward mindset and a performance-art sensibility. The name “Ocean Child” is a poetic nod to Lennon’s song “Julia,” which contains a translation of Yoko’s name—further entwining this frame with their shared story.
Ocean Child is available in four limited colorways:
- Beluga: Limited to 200 pieces
- Breccia: Limited to 150 pieces
- Smoke Fade: Limited to 100 pieces
- Carmine: Limited to 100 pieces
Dr. Dream: Lennon’s Studio Legacy Reimagined
The Dr. Dream frame brings John Lennon’s own eyewear into modern focus. A mid-century silhouette with a softly sloping brow, keyhole bridge, and fine metal detailing, Dr. Dream is both understated and iconic. It evokes the quiet charisma Lennon carried, particularly during the introspective and collaborative sessions that defined Double Fantasy.
Dr. Dream is available in four limited colorways:
- Baltic: Limited to 250 pieces
- Noir: Limited to 350 pieces
-
Marigold: Limited to 150 pieces
-
Sulfur: Limited to 100 pieces
Accessories Worth Displaying
The John & Yoko by JMM collection is presented in an elevated monograph box, finely debossed with original John Lennon artwork. Inside, collectors will find a custom envelope-style case, an oversized commemorative cleaning cloth, and a letterpress authenticity card, hand-numbered and signed by the craftsman. As a rare bonus, each pair will also be accompanied—while supplies last—by an exclusive vinyl reissue of Double Fantasy, completing the bridge between visual and musical artistry.
