Videofashion Designers: JOHN VARVATOS | Archival Designer Interviews and Runways

In this episode of Videofashion Designers: Edgy, eclectic, and rock n’ roll! John Varvatos has made a name for himself in the luxury menswear industry. The designer was born and raised in Detroit, where he was exposed to a melting pot of musical styles and influences. After graduating from college, Varvatos worked in mens retail for over a decade, before founding his namesake label in the year 2000. It wasn’t long before he attracted a hot list of musician and celebrity fans – from Alice Cooper to ZZ Top and LL Cool J. In 2008, Varvatos took over the space formerly occupied by CBGB – the legendary epicenter of New York’s punk scene, which had been shut down two years prior. After almost two decades in business, the designer still remains close to his rock and roll roots – appealing to free-spirited style-seekers who want to look sexy, elegant, and a little rebellious!
