I had been wanting to visit this shop - the largest of all John Varvatos shops in the world, with 3 floors of amazing style, design, and materials - since I first planned on visiting London and the UK. I was anything but disappointed! Robert P. was my salesperson and stylist. He was simply wonderful. Helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating with a great eye for what fits what and how and why as well as what goes with what and why.
The clothes themselves are incredible. Granted, Varvatos isn't for everyone. It's edgy and progressive but, being a more advanced and elegant vision of the genre, lacks that raw and untamed element that other rock & roll inspired designers have. These are highly sophisticated items and very refined - and some highly editorial - looks. Made with perfection from exquisite fabrics and the lightest of leathers - the goat leather and the cashmere collections are among my favorites!
All in all, I wish I had another day to explore the rest of this store and more luggage room to take it all home! (Though, the offer was made to do it for free back to my home in Tampa, FL.)
If I could, I would leave this store and Robert P. with 6 stars! read more
