NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: JOHN VARVATOS COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW
February 9, 2008
For Fall/Winter 2008-09, John Varvatos presented a collection for the glam-ed out rock star.
Reflective peacoats, metallic silver button-ups and tailored jackets with added sheen are for the rocker who cares about how he looks. Leather jackets are still in the collection but this rocker is adjusting to tailored looks of suits and overcoats, even though a leather vest may sneak in under it.
These rockers look in the mirror and are unapologetically stylish, accessorizing with fingerless gloves, arm warmers and jumbo knit scarves that could probably double as a blanket. Varvatos is also teaching his guy how to layer putting shawl collar knits over shirts. And oh yeah, this guy is not afraid of knits, throwing a knit overcoat layered atop a suit.
With all this confidence it’s no surprise the Varvatos man knows how to rock color, bringing a dark, grey color palette to life with pops of a red scarf or red vest layered under a black coat.
