You don’t have to be a diehard rock fan like John Varvatos, who reportedly owns more than 10,000 records and features musicians in his ad campaigns, to enjoy listening in as the award-winning menswear designer chats with Timothy White and Jim Marshall this Wednesday about their book, Match Prints. Varvatos is hosting an Inside the Actors Studio–like conversation with the two renowned photographers at his store in Soho, at 122 Spring St.:

The event, which begins with cocktails at 7 and the conversation at 8, is by invitation only. But if you’d like to attend, send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll do my best to add you to the guest list. I just heard from someone at John Varvatos—all are welcome to attend (the invite is above), but they ask that you RSVP to [email protected]. If you’re on the West Coast, worry not—Varvatos is holding similar conversation-style events at his stores in San Francisco on April 7 and Los Angeles on April 8.

Meanwhile, Staley-Wise Gallery in Soho is mounting a “Match Prints” exhibition (it will be up through April 24), and the opening is the very next night, from 6 to 9 on Thursday. Details below. I’ll be at both events—hope to see you there!
