Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or suburbia, CBGB closed it’s doors last month. But in 2008, the CBGB location will reopen as the newest boutique of mens wear designer and rock and roller, John Varvatos.

John Varvatos has always been a fan of rock music. And rockers are huge fans of John Varvatos’ beautiful mix of rock star silhouettes such as slim trousers, leather hats and biker boots. A clever blend of hard and debonair without a hint of metrosexuality. My total testosterone-laden counterpart. If Alice Cooper wears his stuff, it’s not metro guys!

John Varvatos was recently featured in Pasadena Magazine, a magazine I write for. Varvatos was exhibiting the work of legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall.

I love that John Varvatos infuses his love of music into his finely tailored garments for men who may or may not have been punks, but have the soul of a rock star.
