Refinery29’s 'Next In Fashion: Liberate the silhouette with Willy Chavarria'

Go inside the world of Willy Chavarria, one of the most provocative and intriguing contemporary fashion designers. Combining craftsmanship with powerful messaging, Chavarria produces bold, fearless collections that address social issues while paying homage to his Mexican American roots. On and off the runway, Chavarria strives to reincorporate a community that has traditionally been left out of style conversations, using his work and voice to uplift the underrepresented, dismantle expectations about who gets to create luxury fashion, and celebrate the beauty found in culture, heritage, and individuality. 

Conversation led by Irina Grechko, fashion director, Refinery29.
