John Varvatos Spring/Summer 2015 Menswear Review
The soft whites and grays at John Varvatos' Spring/Summer 2015 presentation were refreshing and alluring. The historical cuts on those gray jackets were just my style. Each look was seemingly paired with a soft scarf wrapped easily under the outerwear. And there weren’t just gray shapely jackets, but dark and timeless blazers, waistcoats, cardigans, and even a white moto jacket with multiple zippers. The looks were modern yet aged, feminine yet masculine, and timeless yet avant-garde. Totally full of romance. The wilted grayscale flower pins graced lapels and breasts like they were boutonnieres. I think John Varvatos is very interesting in the fact that he understands menswear and morphs it into whatever he likes. I mean to say that he understands that not every man dresses the same. He can create things that are feminine on a man, without going overboard. His clothes still contain a strong element of masculinity. That blend in clothing entices me. I believe that idea of blending is reflected in my personal style. All of the clothes were in grayscale, with a few exceptions of faded roses and browns. It seems ethereal, almost like a fairytale. All of the pieces, including the sunglasses and bags are undoubtedly sellable. Bottom line: John Varvatos is still and has always been an incredible rock star for menswear.
