John Varvatos MFW MEN's Fall Winter 13-14

"The world of today is all about contrasts that come together"

"I created a bridge crossing an ocean and mixing seemingly opposite universes and different eras: English dandy and New York edge. Rooted in the character of old world English dandy, the great textures, deep autumnal colours and elegance are blended with a strong dose of New York edginess to create a sophisticated contemporary look for today's man.''

'The new tailored silhouette has a subtle hourglass shape and a stronger shoulder while layers have been stripped back to let the fabrics, leathers, yarns and new proportions speak for themselves. Brushed tweeds, artisan finished leathers, hand knit sweaters and washed velvet shoes blend to create a timeless yet unexpected mix that is a step forward in the constant evolution of the John Varvatos signature handwriting."

‘A vision of elegance that is imperfectly perfect and authentic: a forward-looking mix of tradition and innovation.’

In our opinion, the show was incredibly interesting because of all the contrasts. Influenced by an old era and today’s trends John Varvatos created one of the best men’s collections of this season. It is really hard to manage to combine these two eras in such an amazing way, but he did it! It gives of a kind of ‘Sherlock Holmes and old England’, don’t you think?  v&f xx
