Vintage Rocker Fashion Ads

John Varvatos and ZZ Top Team for Ad Campaign

For fall/ winter 2009 John Varvatos and ZZ Top have come together for an ad campaign.

Shot in black and white, the John Varvatos and ZZ Top ads are edgy and cool, though this is not the first time Varvatos has used rockers as the face of his label. Last year Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand were featured in the Varvatos ads.

It’s no surprise that Varvatos came running as fast as he could to work with ZZ Top since he is one of the hippest names in menswear, and ‘every girl’s crazy about a sharp dressed man’.
