John Varvatos Quotes

I like someone who has a little bad boy in them, a little edge Picture Quote #1

Music and fashion have had a kind of incestuous relationship since the Fifties. It started with people like Elvis Presley and pop icons like James Dean. Then it exploded in the MTV days. Now, with the Internet, it’s instantaneous Picture Quote #1

Style is timeless. It transcends generations - it’s enduring. If you’re thinking about fashion, it’s of the moment. And that doesn’t mean that it’s not important at times to embrace trends and that type of thing, but style is less about trends than it is about how you carry yourself Picture Quote #1

I believe that if you think about what style means, you won’t become a fashion victim Picture Quote #1

Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life Picture Quote #1

For me, growing up in Detroit, scarves meant cold weather. But I remember working in a store, and we had some silk scarves - like, wide scarves with fringe - and because I had seen the English rockers wearing skinny silk scarves, I took the scarves, cut and sewed them, and made them long - almost like a tie Picture Quote #1

The great thing about living in New York is the constant change of things. It inspires me to keep moving, push forward, question ideas Picture Quote #1

The music alone wasn’t enough. It was great, but when an artist had an amazing look - like the MC5, or the Stooges, or Alice Cooper - you really got sucked in. The wardrobe was so important. At a show, you were engrossed in the music, but you were also engrossed in everything from the haircuts to what they were wearing Picture Quote #1

I think the record industry has gotten to be more about labels wondering what the new single is rather than labels nurturing artists. It’s gotten away from making a full album of music that someone would want to listen to all the way through Picture Quote #1

In the early 70s, coming out of the 60s, it was very hippy or it was very uniform, like The Beatles all wearing the same suit. Into the 70s, it became much more about a personal style. You had the glam period, which was a lot of fun, and then you went into punk Picture Quote #1

I loved the MC5 and the Stooges, but also, the British Invasion - the Kinks and the Yardbirds - and then Led Zeppelin, of course. Alice Cooper was one of my favorite bands Picture Quote #1

I collect vintage vinyl records Picture Quote #1

A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it, and I put pictures in it Picture Quote #1

Our philosophy is about reaching back to move forward. We have something different to say with a sensibility that is both old and new Picture Quote #1

The shirt may be cut slimmer or looser, the suit might be darker or lighter, the sneakers might not have laces, but you’re still talking about shirts and suits and sneakers Picture Quote #1
