John Varvatos Labels Gap And Banana Republic 'Followers'
As we gear up for fashion week, we should also gear up for more designer opinions about what's in and what's - unfortunately - out. For John Varvatos, he of the casual-cool menswear, ubiquitous brands like Gap and Banana Republic are unquestionably out.
The designer told Playboy (via The Cut): "A lot of designers become hot, attend every party, and then you don't hear about them again. We've created our own identity. You asked about Banana Republic and the Gap - they don't have their own personality. They're followers. I spent a lot of years working for Ralph Lauren, and he had so many copycats, from Tommy Hilfiger to Abercrombie & Fitch to J.Crew. Many people have followed us too and have been successful."

The message is to be careful about nature. Just to take care more about nature...I understand that it could be shocking to see and to look in this way these images."
