JOHNVARVATOS.COM IS LIVE
Wednesday is pleased to announce the launch of JohnVarvatos.com
The new site takes inspiration from the brand’s rich heritage in New York and the textural and vintage details that distinguish its in-store environment. The site’s information architect and art directional styles hero the multiple collections within the brand bringing each of their identities to the fore: John Varvatos Collection, John Varvatos U.S.A. and Boys, Converse by John Varvatos and Fragrance.
A new editorial destination, Style Substance, showcases an ongoing series of profiles on men whose creativity and dedication to their work follows in the spirit of John Varvatos’ own approach to his craft. Style Substance launched with features on Pete Cashmore, Michael Chernow, comedian Anthony Jeselnik, Vincent Piazza, athlete Nick Swisher and Michael Voltaggio. A launch event attended by the talent showcased the new site via iPad in New York’s West Village on February 5th.
WEDNESDAY ARE WORKING WITH JOHN VARVATOS
John Varvatos started his eponymous fashion house in 1999, debuting his first collection at the end of 2000 which consisted of tailored menswear. The brand now represents an entire lifestyle that includes belts, handbags, footwear, eyewear, limited edition watches and fragrances.
Varvatos credits his early obsession with rock ‘n roll as the catalyst for his interest in fashion; a unifying theme in his design, it is also deeply ingrained in all aspects of the brand. Ad campaigns for the brand have featured such legendary Rock icons as Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Velvet Revolver and most recently, Paul Weller & Miles Kane. The collection is currently distributed in all freestanding John Varvatos boutiques including the 315 Bowery boutique in the space that formerly housed the seminal underground music club CBGB.
He first received accolades from the CFDA in 2000 when he was honored with the Perry Ellis Award for Menswear, compounded the following year by winning the 2001 CFDA Designer of the Year award and CFDA’s Menswear Designer of the Year award in 2005.
The new site will launch early 2013.
