Samuel Vartan Collections

His Fall/Winter collection Dark City changes dramatically from his Mediterraneo Spring/Summer line as the collection takes on a more darker and ominous tones working in predominantly black fabrics such as cashmere, velvet, satin, leather and the occasional furs. Dark City gets it's name from the designer's love of the big, eclectic cities such as Montreal, New York, London, Prague and Berlin which

all have a strong underground sub cultures. The designer describes this line as sleek silhouettes in bold fabrics with eclectic accents and details on minimalist shapes and forms. The Dark City customer is described as someone who knows what they want from life and are very confident; they like to live life to the fullest. Mediterraneo is a dynamic mix of garments which can easily be worn as a part of everyday life but are inspired by a life on the islands. Fine linen shirts, dresses, and blazers are the collection's staples along with coverups and sheer numbers meant to take you from the beach to dinner. Mediterraneo pays homage to the designer's European background and it's customer is fun, vibrant, and full of life. "Fashion is here today but gone tomorrow but style lasts forever."
