As New York’s Fashion Week winds down, one of our favorite American designers previewed his spring/summer ’08 collection.
From the 45th floor of 7 World Trade Center, the John Varvatos show featured the designer’s eponymous line, and his younger, funkier John Varvatos Star U.S.A collection. As was expected, Mr. Varvatos remained quiet with his color palette and edgy with his design. His suits had a relatively slim fit while the casual wear hung off the body a bit more. Varvatos is known for his rock 'n' roll-inspired clothing (we featured him in Rock the Rabbit) but year after year his lines feature pieces that can work well on the weekdays between nine and five.
It's a relief to see a designer who can create a line of clothing that's far from conventional yet completely practical for today’s metropolitan man. Mr. Varvatos, a two-time CDFA Menswear Designer of the Year, has been a fashion standout since the line’s debut in 2000, and last night he kept with tradition.
