It's no secret that John Varvatos loves and is heavily influenced by music. In 2008, he famously transformed iconic New York rock den CBGB into his downtown flagship store—a shrine to both fashion and rock 'n' roll—and has since continued to regularly host special performances and concerts at the legendary space. "I wouldn't be where I am today if not for the music I discovered growing up in Detroit in the late 1960s and 1970s," he says. "There are traces of it in the way I dress and the look of my menswear collections over the past dozen years." Tomorrow, Harper Design will publish the designer's newest book John Varvatos: Rock in Fashion. It's a 272-page personally curated labor of love—a photographic testament to Varvatos' passion for music and design featuring more than 250 images of stars including Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon, and Green Day by photographers such as Robert Matheu, Elliott Landy, Bob Gruen, and Lynn Goldsmith. "Overall, this book is a collection of visuals that have been meaningful to me and have made a lasting impression on my work," Varvatos says. Here are 10 of our favorites from the tome, starting with Axl
