BEN SHERMAN X JOHN LENNON COLLECTION: CELEBRATING SIX DECADES OF MUSIC AND FASHION

by John Russel Jones



Ben Sherman, the iconic British fashion brand, is honored to partner with the John Lennon Estate to present a limited-edition collection, celebrating one of the world’s most prolific modern singer-songwriters and composers of all time, John Lennon. This exclusive collection commemorates six decades of music, art, and fashion by seamlessly blending the essence of Ben Sherman’s DNA with original John Lennon sketches. It also features iconic album artwork, song lyrics, and Lennon’s iconic signature throughout. 

The Ben Sherman x John Lennon collaboration was inspired by John Lennon’s incredible timeless song “Imagine” and its powerful lyrics. The vision was to incorporate this topical subject matter and Lennon’s lyrics into the collection in a fresh, innovative way while preserving the essence of modern menswear. Mark Williams, Ben Sherman’s Creative Director, shares his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Straightaway, we loved the idea of making the lyrics structurally form part of the design. We knew this was an original approach that hadn’t been explored to this level of detail.”

John Lennon was celebrated not only as a musician but also as an accomplished artist. His incredible art catalog, marked by whimsical artworks, has been thoughtfully integrated into the collection. These unique works of art take center stage on t-shirts and are meticulously hand-drawn onto statement Oxford shirts, celebrating Lennon’s artistic legacy.

Many pieces within the capsule collection draw inspiration from John Lennon’s iconic looks throughout his life. These garments pay homage to his undeniably influential sense of style, creating a collection that captures his essence and enduring impact. By reimagining these classics, Ben Sherman has crafted an exclusive collection of modern collectibles that will be cherished by John Lennon and Ben Sherman enthusiasts alike.

The limited-edition Ben Sherman x John Lennon Collection is now available online at BenSherman.com.
