Discussing his work with Badflower, Varvatos explains that they represent everything that’s missing in music and style today…they’re rebels and amazing storytellers that carry themselves with ease and confidence.
The designer continues, At the same time they are absolutely one of the best rock bands on the planet.
Badflower frontman Josh Katz adds, John’s been with us longer than a lot of other people…he’s always willing to get in the trenches with us.
Katz says, Working with I’m now, it’s a lot of laughter. We usually go to a bar, have a beer and talk about everything. He’s a creative and isn’t afraid to think outside the box.
