As part of the US launch of
FACES 1969-75 John Varvatos hosted a cocktail party at his New York Bowery Boutique last night, 11th April. Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones were on hand to personalise copies of the book, which now comes housed in a custom made solander box to celebrate the Faces' upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The two authors chatted to guests including rock photographers Bob Gruen and Mick Rock; musician Jesse Malin; and their host, fashion designer John Varvatos, who spoke of the Faces' impact on his life and work.
'The Faces were a huge part of my life growing up. Musically, they took me someplace I had never been taken before. And from a fashion-designer standpoint, style-wise, they took me someplace I had never been taken before as well. And it stayed with me my entire life.' - John Varvatos
