Karl Aberg’s vision for John Varvatos Spring 25 Collection, ‘Kiln & Craft,’ draws inspiration from the imperfections that give character to handmade ceramics. Aberg pushes traditional American menswear by transforming it with relaxed silhouettes and a softened color palette, embracing a shift towards a more fluid and casual style without sacrificing refinement.
At the heart of this collection is a deliberate exploration of imperfection. Aberg’s creative direction invites a deeper appreciation for handcrafted details, where unconventional design elements take center stage. The garments, much like ceramic art, honor irregularities as part of their charm. Leather jackets with a crinkled texture and coats featuring hand-splattered finishes feel naturally worn-in, as if shaped by time and the elements.
This season’s focus on comfort and ease extends into knitwear, where subtle details offer understated luxury. Lightweight crewnecks with distressed accents at the seams and open-stitched polos paired with tailored trousers give a sense of effortless sophistication.
Formal wear in the Spring 2025 Collection takes a simplified yet luxurious approach. Italian-crafted two-piece suits and single-button jackets, cut with clean lines and precision, offer a modern take on classic menswear. Aberg also introduces softer fabrics such as linen and suede. Floral jacquard prints in golden apricot hues further elevate these pieces.
The collection’s color palette balances earthy tones and brighter accents. Deep blacks, crisp whites, and soft greys ground the collection, while burnt oranges and cypress greens add warmth and freshness. Hints of indigo, lilac, and antique rose bring in a subtle romantic element, with textured fabrics like merino wool, linen, and cashmere offering depth and dimension.Take a closer look at the John Varvatos Spring 25 collection in the Gallery below:
