What to know about Willy Chavarria
Willy Chavarria is a New York label founded in 2015 by the Fresno-born, Chicano-American designer of the same name, previously senior vice president of design at Calvin Klein. Collections pair sharp oversized tailoring with workwear and Chicano subcultural references, using runway shows as platforms for commentary on identity, immigration and community. Chavarria won CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year in 2023 and 2024. FAE Fashion Ventures invested in 2024; Chalhoub Group and Webster Capital took minority stakes in September 2025.
