DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT – JOHN VARVATOS: Music has long-inspired world-renowned menswear designer John Varvatos. How could it not? He grew up in Detroit – the music melting pot of America – where Motown, rock & roll, blues, jazz, and punk melded together in unforgettable period of music history. At an early age John was exposed to defining musicians including The Who, Led Zeppelin, Detroit’s own MC5, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, and The Stooges. The creative spirit, electricity and edginess intrinsic in the personal style of these rock ‘n’ roll icons inspired John at an early age, and influenced the evolution of his eclectic sensibility. This season, the design icon continues his inspired men’s fashions with a true rock ‘n’ roll flair. The collection reflects the quality and attention to detail inherent in old world tailoring, while creating luxurious, comfortable clothing for a modern lifestyle. For Spring 2011, Varvatos fittingly chose musician Dave Matthews, lead vocalist and guitar player of the leading touring act of this millennium – the Dave Matthews Band, to feature in the ad campaign in support of the season’s collection.
