About Willy Chavarria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hailing from the vibrant streets of New York and deeply influenced by his Mexican-American heritage\u2014specifically the “Pachuco” and “Chicano” styles\u2014Willy Chavarria is a visionary in modern menswear. After a prestigious tenure at labels like Ralph Lauren, he launched his own brand in 2015. His aesthetic is a masterclass in “exaggerated masculinity,” blending 1940s Zoot Suit silhouettes with 80s-90s West Coast street culture to create a new category of luxury streetwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A two-time CFDA Men\u2019s Designer of the Year in 2023 and 2024, Chavarria\u2019s influence is undeniable. Following his successful role as a senior vice president of design at Calvin Klein, his collaborations with Adidas and ZARA have brought his message of social “dignity” and “empowerment” to a global stage. For Willy, fashion is a powerful tool to transcend class and race, giving every wearer a sense of undeniable presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
