BECAUSE THE WORLD IS ROUND: Because John Lennon defines this shape. Because it’s a mix of cool and irreverent. Because it’s an offbeat classic that will never be out of style. Because it’s always better to have curves than to be square. Because it can turn you into a rock star, a beatnik, a writer or a dreamer, but it will never make you boring. Because it can be any size, any material, any color, but it’s got to be round. That’s why the world is round when the sun comes out.—Iris Johnson
