Frank Ocean, the Grammy-winning musician, has ventured into the world of luxury fashion with his independent American brand, Homer.
Established in 2018 and launched commercially in New York City in August 2021, Homer offers a range of luxury jewelry and accessories inspired by the ancient Greek author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. The brand's first collection features printed silk scarves and handcrafted jewelry pieces made from 18-karat gold, recycled sterling silver, hand-painted enamel, and American lab-grown diamonds.
In September 2021, Frank Ocean's Homer announced a collaboration with the iconic Italian fashion house, Prada. This limited-edition collection, known as Homer x Prada, showcases a reimagined version of Prada's classic anorak jacket, backpack, and belt bag in four different pastel colors. The collaboration is part of an ongoing series between the two labels, with more joint efforts expected in the future.
The Homer x Prada collection is available exclusively at the Homer store in New York and can be purchased via Signal at 212-410-3300. Store appointments can be made online at www.homer.com. To further emphasize the exclusivity of the collection, celebrities Evan Mock and Rosalía were seen carrying the new Prada bags during New York Fashion Week SS22.
Frank Ocean's passion for luxury fashion is evident in his previous appearances wearing Prada at high-profile events and starring in official campaigns for the brand. With the launch of Homer and its collaboration with Prada, Frank Ocean has successfully combined his love for music and fashion, creating a unique and luxurious experience for fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
