COUNT John Varvatos as among the fans of “Game of Thrones.” The designer has teamed with the show’s creator, HBO, on an exclusive men’s capsule collection launched Thursday. This marks the first time Varvatos has collaborated with a television series and is the only luxury fashion collaboration for the “Game of Thrones” final season. The 11-piece collection features hand-dyed leather outerwear, a cross-over henley, pants, a textured messenger bag and spray-dyed T-shirts with graphic prints. Signature details from the series are found throughout the collection, including outerwear pieces with the Iron Throne motif printed on the inside of a jacket. Prices range from US$98 for a graphic T-shirt to US$2,698 for the hand-dyed leather jacket. “From the very first episode, I have been inspired by the incredible costumes in ‘Game of Thrones,’” Varvatos said. “To have this opportunity to collaborate is a dream come true.” The John Varvatos x Game of Thrones capsule will be available at select John Varvatos boutiques and on the company’s e-commerce site. Varvatos himself presented the collection during an event at his Bowery Store in New York City on Wednesday night titled “Enter the Realm.” There have been other collaborations for the popular series, including a handbag and accessories collection with Danielle Nicole that launched last fall. In 2017, to celebrate its seventh season, the show partnered with seven streetwear brands including Carrots and Billionaire Boys Club for a collection called “Rap the Realm.” (SD-Agencies) |
