John Varvatos’ Fashion Show for Spring/Summer 2012

John Varvatos took his audience back in time with his latest fashion collection in Milan. His fab seventies-inspired clothes were reminiscent of favorite styles worn by rockers such as Led Zeppelin, the Who, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. John Varvatos brought all the the flamboyance and flowing long hair of the 1970s to his stage and the mood was set for the evening.

The popular, American menswear designer, himself paraded down the catwalk wearing a loose blouse and a slightly flared pair of pants. He wore an eye-catching necklace and changed throughout the fashion show into a loose-fitting suit jacket, another military jacket and a long cardigan. He managed to create a bygone era of hippie-chic, rock and pop.

Male models picked especially for the concept, wore waistcoats, suede jackets, checked pants and scarves printed with the American flag. They also wore quarter-length leathers, military and fencing jackets and nostalgic white suits. Luxurious Varvatos boots finished off the striking 70s look. Watch highlights from the show below:
