Frank Ocean Unveils Homer, Luxury Jewelry Line and Store

 Posted on July 30, 2024  |  4 minutes  |  777 words  |  Aldo Pusey

Out of a clear blue sky on a hot August Friday afternoon, Frank Ocean announce a new “luxury” jewelry company called Homer.

The announcement comes with an 84-page catalog, the cover of which was designed and photographed by Ocean. Certain images are included below.

Fans may have initially hoped for an announcement of new music, but Ocean’s multifaceted endeavors sometimes are a hint of new music coming — his last album, 2016’s “Blonde,” was accompanied by an Ocean-edited magazine and pop-up stores. Then again, maybe not: Rumors of a new album have been floating for years, but since the release of “Blonde,” Ocean has released a handful of new songs — all great or very good — and did a brief tour in 2017 that was filmed by Spike Jonze, but no footage from which has emerged.
