The Cannes Film Festival started yesterday and continues through May 22. Damn! That’s a long festival. I’m sure during that time, there will be something on the red carpet or in a photocall that will blow me away fashion-wise. But, in the first day and a half, nothing has wowed me as much as the black leather shorts and boots that Yoko Ono wore in 1971.
I’ve always loved this shorts/boots look on Yoko. Now, however, it’s her black choker — better seen in this photo — that jumps out at me.
A lot of articles on the current choker craze call the look a throwback to 1990s style … but perhaps 1990s style was actually a throwback to 1970s style!
