John Varvatos To Launch Accessories Line for Fall 2010

By Samantha

Lifestyle brand, John Varvatos, has expanded its collection to include accessories for Fall 2010. The accessories line will feature leather goods geared toward a younger, edgier demographic, with a “preppy-meets-rocker style” look based on an “imperfectly perfect” feel.

The fabulously-designed collection will include bags, small leather goods and accessories, belts and even some funky jewelry.  The goal of the line is to expand the John Varvatos offerings to its hip male consumer at a reasonable price point, retailing from $65 to $550.

The collection, which will be exclusive to the USA, has five groupings underneath the label: caribou leather, antique calf, pebble grain, canvas and a nylon/leather grouping silk-screened with fun American motifs, from marijuana leaves to guitars. A peace sign hand and flag is a reoccurring motif that appears on most of the pieces. Many of the pieces also feature hand finishes.

The collection features luxurious textiles keeping with the John Varvatos sleek aesthetic. However, there are fabulous additions in chains and funky hardware that add a younger sensibility.

John Varvatos USA accessories complete the designer’s portfolio as a lifestyle brand, and bring sophisticated edge to his adoring male fans. The line will be available at John Varvatos stores.

From April 18 to June 20, 2010, shoppers will be able to accessorize like the celebrities for less money out of their pocket with the limited edition collection by famed headwear designer Eugenia Kim, which will launch at select Target stores and at Target.com. Eugenia Kim for Target is the first hat launch in a series of Target accessory designer collaborations.

Eugenia Kim is no stranger to the fashion world. After working at Allure magazine, she began attending Parsons School of Design. The designer decided to shave her head after a bad haircut, and wore a red guinea-feathered cloche that she had made in one of her classes. Store owners quickly took notice of the stunning hat which was hand feathered, and before her eyes, a line was born from the design student. Beginning with two cloche styles in a wide array of colors, her headwear line has grown dramatically to now include men’s headwear and couture and custom designs, and is sold at select high-end retailers nation-wide.victoriabek

Eugenia Kim designs for hats for numerous celebrities, and has an extensive celebrity fan base, including Cameron Diaz, Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Britney Spears, Sienna Miller, Alicia Keys and Nicole Kidman, just to name a few. With her launch at Target, Eugenia Kim will now be a household name easily available to the general public. Accessorizing can be so much fun, and with confidence, shoppers will now be able to dress their heads and get the look for less of their favorite celebrity style icons.
