John Varvatos Men's LuxuryBbutton-Down Luxury Shirt /Cotton AMAZING FABRIC “I don’t think I designed a single piece of clothing until I was 29, which is late. I wasn’t a cookie-cutter person.” – John Varvatos Rock-n-roll aficionado John Varvatos didn’t start out designing—the Detroit native began his decades-long and award-winning career working in retail sales. Things have certainly changed since those early days, and since founding his label in 1999, Varvatos has influenced the way men dress, drive, drink tequila, and smell. Here, we take a look at his illustrious career, which has made its mark on the personal style of men everywhere. “Ralph was the first to really create a brand out of a personal style. He nailed it and he owns it.” – John Varvatos After beginning in retail sales and merchandising, Varvatos joined the Ralph Lauren corporate offices to begin his career. (He had two stints here, but this is where he began his long-lasting friendship with Lauren.) At Calvin Klein, Varvatos oversaw the launch of the men’s collection and cK brand, but you might be more familiar with the infamous Calvin Klein boxer brief he designed. Or as Vanity Fair put it, “the most replicated form of men’s underwear since cavemen fashioned loincloths.” Two years later, the brand made waves by introducing the world to a steamy ad campaign featuring Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg. 1999, Launched John Varvatos
