About us

Willy Chavarria, originally from California, began his creative journey studying graphic design at the Academy of the Arts before transitioning into fashion, where he found his true passion—using design to uplift the underrepresented and enhance human dignity. His collections embody a cinematic approach, blending emotional depth with contemporary political themes to tell compelling stories of the human spirit. Drawing from his Mexican-American heritage and street culture, his work is known for its bold silhouettes and powerful messaging. Through provocative runway presentations, Willy has gained recognition from top retailers such as Barneys, Dover Street Market, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, and SSENSE. With continued expansion, the brand is increasing its global presence. In January 2025, WILLY CHAVARRIA made his Paris Fashion Week debut, presenting his AW25 collection to critical acclaim. This milestone solidified his place among the industry's leading voices, reinforcing his ability to merge luxury craftsmanship with cultural and political narratives. Willy's accolades include being a finalist for the International Woolmark Prize (2018), a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner (2021), and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Award recipient (2022). He was named CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year in both 2023 and 2024.

    ‘Tarantula’ represents the 10th anniversary of Willy Chavarria for Autumn-Winter 2025. Shadows are tools of the Willy Chavarria trade to methodically spotlight a neo-Baroque drama. ‘Tarantula’ accentuates light through the darkness. ‘Tarantula’ comprises color and shape; texture and tonality. ‘Tarantula’ is tough and tender; American and European. ‘Tarantula’ is an expression of bold chiaroscuro that depicts the beauty of existence, resistance and persistence. Tarantula’ encapsulates a global, sophisticated sensibility that encourages Brown, Black and Queer people to be resistant and resilient. Working-class luxury becomes our style of self-empowerment. Willy Chavarria continues building up a community where everyone is welcome. The dignified disenfranchised. ‘Tarantula’ works to inspire us — saints and sinners of society working to be canonized in real-time. ‘Tarantula’ is a Willy Chavarria chiaroscuro exploration of love, sexuality and identity. Just don’t get it twisted. We bite hard if confronted.
