Jeanne Beker goes one-on-one with Sean Lennon






Sean Lennon is no stranger to style circles, so it wasn’t surprising to see him recently at a fashion-magazine launch in Paris, where he was about to perform onstage with a host of other musicians, including his model girlfriend, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, and his close buddy, Montreal supermodel Irina Lazareanu.
I have been running into the 35-year-old son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the fashion circuit for years, most memorably during New York Fashion Week, when he often accompanies his avant-garde mom.
He recently produced an album, entitled Between My Head and the Sky, for the 76-year-old Ono. And he’s been busy posing, too. A 50-page coffee-table book, Sean + Kemp by photographer Alex Freund, features the decided It couple in all their stylish, free-spirited splendour. A few nights after he had played a major L.A. concert with the Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band, Iggy Pop and Lady Gaga, I caught up with Lennon at the Paris brasserie La Fidélité, where he was gearing up to perform a mean rendition of Twist and Shout.
