Is it well known that those who wear John Varvatos are gay? The reason I am asking is that I'm watching an old Law And Order called "Gov Love". It originally aired in 2004. Anyway, the episode is about the NJ governors wife being murdered. Through their investigation, they find out the gov is gay. When the detectives find out he is gay, Dennis Farinas character (he's one of the detectives) says "I should've known - if I'm not mistaken, he was wearing a John Varvatos sweater..........". He says it at about the 24:00 mark. Is this a well known thing? Edit: Just so you know, I normally wouldn't assume that anyone that wears a certain designers clothes means he's gay, or otherwise. But the way Farina said it on the show just made me wonder if it's common knowledge or just some kind of New York thing.
That would be such a weird thing to put in a script without evidence to back it up. However, I have personally never heard of this association, and a quick search revealed basically nothing; the only even remotely relevant article was the guy himself talking about AIDS: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2004-11-04/features/0411040153_1_clinic-fashion-show-saks-fifth I associate the brand with the other big names of fashion with no special connotation (except that people who wear them have a decent taste). I think Ralph has really stepped up his game recently. The next thing would be to wean his client off those baggy cargo pants...
He's had Wiggy wearing "skinny" jeans for awhile now.....another fashion trend which tends to raise questions about the sexuality of those who wear them.
^ Fashion-wise, I think this has been the way to go for a long time. Looks awful if you're flabby, though.
In fashion, btw, gay has long been the new straight, I think. Makes me wonder if we'll eventually see Wiggy in a more avant-garde garb, like Rick Owens (my personal favorite)
I can tell you exactly what Varvatos wearers are like -- middle-aged Arabs. If you visit the menswear in Barneys, while blindfolded sgay, the Varvatos section is easy to find. Just follow the stink of VERY strong cologne, sacrificial goat & Russian cunt juice.
I hope you're a chick. Even guys that are skinny enough for skinny jeans look like flaming douchebags wearing them.
^ Fashion is really quite simple: Wear what good-looking and fashionable people wear, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise (e.g. you're into a certain genre). If you don't, the odds are that you'll choose clothes that people will generally think look like shit; and at that point, you might as well do what Artie does: wear sweat pants when you go out, and boost your self-esteem by calling everyone else a fag.
