• John Bates, the visionary behind the label Jean Varon, was a groundbreaking British designer who helped define the bold, youthful style of 1960s London. A key figure in the era's boutique fashion movement, Bates was known for his daring, modernist designs that pushed boundaries and redefined femininity. Under the Jean Varon name, he created iconic looks featuring sheer panels, cutouts, bare midriffs, and ultra-short hemlines — years ahead of his time. His innovative use of materials, including high-fashion plastic garments as early as 1962, positioned him as a true fashion futurist. Bates gained international attention in 1965 when he designed the striking wardrobe for Diana Rigg’s character, Emma Peel, in The Avengers — cementing his place in pop culture and fashion history. Today, his designs are celebrated for their sharp tailoring, futuristic flair, and fearless femininity. A Jean Varon piece is not just vintage — it's a piece of fashion history.

Fit:

Prior to buying, please take your measurements or the measurements of a similar garment that fits you well. We take great care in taking all the measurements needed to ensure that it is the right size and fit for you.

When a garment is shown on a model, their measurements are listed to give an idea of how it will fit you. 

All measurements are taken when the fabric is not stretched, though we will also give the extra inches when it is stretched (for example, if a range of measurements is listed, it is because the fabric may stretch to encompass multiple sizes). 

All descriptions are very meticulously written and any imperfections on the clothing item are listed.
