SOUNDBITE (English) John Varvatos/Designer \"We\'re calling it the urban romantic and it\'s really this whole kind of yin and yang, hard and soft, idea of this guy who lives in the big city and he\'s intrigued by all the grit and all the culture in the city and all the contemporary aspects of the city but he also has a love for the romance of Provence and the textures and the character of old-world character and fabrics and leathers and finishings and that type of thing, and so we\'ve kind of married the two and that\'s one of the reasons we\'re showing at Django here because we feel like it\'s this sexy, little club and I wanted to be much more intimate with the clothes and the music, as you heard, is much sexier. It\'s not as rock and roll as what we normally do, so it\'s a cool evolution for us.\" 6. Medium of John Varvatos showing his collection backstage 7. SOUNDBITE (English) John Varvatos/Designer - on the France truck attack: \"Oh that\'s awful. It just doesn\'t stop around the world right now, does it?\" 8. Medium of John Varvatos showing his collection backstage 9. SOUNDBITE (English) John Varvatos/Designer - \"I\'ve spent some time in that area and you know it\'s so beautiful and you know there\'s - like I said there\'s so much history. I spent a lot of time in the south of Italy and that type of thing and there\'s so much history in the artisinal way that things are still looked at from the way architecture is done to fabrics and finishing and all that type of thing so it\'s always very inspiring to me because it\'s so far from industrial.\" 10. Medium of John Varvatos watching runway rehearsal STORYLINE: JOHN VARVATOS\' MEN\'S FASHION WEEK SHOW INSPIRED BY PROVENCE, COMMENTS ON NICE ATTACK Varvatos was groovy, as always, but his sexy calm of Provence reimagined for urban romantics was rocked by the real-life news Thursday (14 JULY 2016) of many dead in Nice after a truck plowed through crowds of Bastille Day revelers. \"Oh that\'s awful,\" the seasoned designer said. \"It just doesn\'t stop around the world right now, does it?\" For his 17th spring, Varvatos played with the hard and soft of men\'s fashion, using ultra-light linen fabric for breezy jackets and coats but providing his young romantic with killer rough-and-tumble ankle zip boots that can handle the grit of the big city. Some of his jackets had collars fitted with wires for personalized shaping. And he put out a few great man bags in leather and linen. Varvatos calls this collection for spring 2017 less rock \'n\' roll, softer. \"It\'s a cool evolution for us,\" Varvatos said. Among the old-world touches he embraced was a lush calfskin leather done in an asymmetric jacket, its surface embossed with a crocodile skin motif. Another in supple, buff suede was the color of almonds. One wheat-color linen vest was flecked with metallic fibers for added sheen and dyed by hand for a vintage feel. Varvatos also used silk and wool as he offered a variety of jacket silhouettes. The idea, he said, was to honor \"heritage,\" provide a nod to \"old-world character.\" Actors Kellan Lutz and Colton Haynes were among his guests seated at small cocktail tables at The Django, a cave-like, Paris-inspired jazz venue.
