In John Varvatos, the legendary designer reveals his
perspective on how rock & roll music and style have influenced his
own designs and fashion worldwide. Varvatos’s personally curated
collection of more than 250 images are some of the most provocative ever
shot by top rock photographers from the late 1960s to today, from the
Rolling Stones to the Kings of Leon. The featured photographers are
among the world’s finest, including Mick Rock, Bob Gruen, Elliott Landy,
Danny Clinch, Lynn Goldsmith, and more. Also included are select images
from Varvatos’s own advertising campaigns, featuring artists such as
Slash, Iggy Pop, Scott Weiland, and Miles Kane. Varvatos’s captions and
incisive commentary on the artist and his or her look accompany each
image. Every chapter also contains numerous quotes from the musicians
themselves, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, Jack White,
Pete Townshend, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, and Patti Smith. An
extraordinary anthology of some of the finest images in rock & roll
and the most influential rock looks in fashion and popular culture, this
volume will delight music lovers, and fans of music photography,
fashion, and fashion history.
