Editorial Review for John Varvatos – by Keith Wagstaff
In Short
The Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, Patti Smith--315 Bowery was once the epicenter of the New York punk scene. Now, for better or for worse, it's the home of designer John Varvatos' rock 'n' roll duds. The 3,300 square-foot space is an homage to its former self, with a sparkling noir chandelier, torn-up concert fliers, oversized rock posters and even a votive candle shrine, presumably to rock gods past. The collection showcases a casual rock flair with leather jackets, sharp wool suits, slim-fit pants and chic distressed boots.
Hits: The store itself is gorgeous, with moody dim lighting and lots of vintage instruments, audio gear and furniture.
Misses: As much as the John Varvatos store celebrates the space's underground past, no up-and-coming, future rock legends will be able to afford $1,000 jackets and $400 shoes.
