Rock 'n' Roll Tribute: The Tom Petty Collection by John Varvatos
The spirit of rock 'n' roll lives on in the John Varvatos brand, even though designer John Varvatos is no longer associated with the company. The brand, now owned by Lion/Hendrix Cayman Ltd., has launched a special collection to honor the 50th anniversary of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The collection pays tribute to Tom Petty's iconic style, blending bohemian, rock, Western, and Americana influences that embody confidence and attitude. This unique blend of masculine and feminine elements has left a lasting impact on fashion and continues to inspire the design and styling of the John Varvatos man.
The Tom Petty collection features standout pieces like the Tom Petty Fringe Jacket, crafted from suede with a natural drape, and the Tom Petty Jean, made from premium Italian denim in a medium indigo shade. The collection also includes the "Yer So Bad" Applique T, a classic graphic T-shirt, and the Tom Petty Suede Zip Up Boot. Each piece captures the essence of Tom Petty's signature style and rebellious spirit.
John Varvatos collaborated closely with Tom Petty's estate to ensure that the collection authentically reflects the late singer's legacy. The capsule will be available for purchase starting Wednesday at all John Varvatos full-price store locations, select department stores, and online. This special collection celebrates the enduring influence of Tom Petty on music and fashion, offering fans a chance to embody his iconic style in their own wardrobe.
The John Varvatos brand, which marked its 25th anniversary last year, has undergone various ownership changes over the years. Lion/Hendrix Cayman acquired the business in 2020 for approximately $97 million, securing its future and continuing to uphold the brand's commitment to timeless style and rock 'n' roll heritage. The Tom Petty collection is a testament to the brand's dedication to honoring music legends and creating fashion that resonates with fans of both music and style.
