Last night, we gathered at John Varvatos‘ flagship on Conduit Street to toast the arrival of the brand’s Fall ’26 collection in stores.
The autumnal collection draws on 1970s London rock and American heritage, with sharp tailoring, shearling and suede outerwear, velvet shirting and cashmere knits among the standout pieces. Tailoring with a little edge is what the brand does best, and the store, with its basement styled as a New York dive bar, suits it beautifully.
The bar downstairs was open all evening, serving drinks that were exactly what you’d hope for: masculine, weighty and very John Varvatos. Fill the place with a crowd who understood the dress code perfectly, and the evening looked after itself. Fashion folk, music heads and beyond turned out, with David Nyanzi, Daniel Edwards, Ajay Cheema, Roanen Campbell, Alejandro Zwartendijk and Sam Finch among those we spotted.
Manchester-based band, Corella provided the soundtrack for the evening. Entertaining with bright, guitar-led indie rock, the foursome made the lively bunch all the louder.
Our thanks to the John Varvatos team, James Schuck and Michael Hennegan for bringing it all together.
