It does seem timely, however, that the famous sneaker company is now tackling a greater breadth of the textiles market with its no frills aesthetic--a design approach that seems to have gained momentum in recent years. Finding a Fashion Designer that Fits the Bill With a trail of credentials following John Varvatos’ name, it became clear that he was the obvious choice to take on the expansion of Converse into a clothing line. Having dressed the likes of Brad Pitt and Ashton Kutcher, Varvatos’ designs illustrate a deep appreciation for simple, luxurious fabrics and styles that draw on vintage, American style--ideals he has woven into both the men’s and women’s apparel. Design School: Take a History Lesson in Fashion Varvatos’ career in fashion design illustrates how vital a close relationship to classic American fashion and apparel design truly is to the industry. Fashion design school is your greatest resource for courses covering the history of apparel design and the importance of providing vintage style in a contemporary market.
