RUNWAY: John Varvatos SS16

Stripes, Rock n' Roll, and a canopy of umbrellas above was how John Varvatos concluded the inaugural season of NYFW:M. The formula at Varvatos has always rang true and hits the right spot for his legion of followers and customers. The collections are often similar, with a new bag here, a bold new pattern there, a switch of weight of the suit fabrics but the essence is the same. With Varvatos being one of the most venerated designers showing a full show during this all-important expo of American fashion talents, it's easy to see why he wouldn't want to fix something that isn't broken and proves why he works with some of rock's biggest names like Kiss and Jimmy Page.
