Willy Chavarria FW23

March 28, 2023

WILLY CHAVARRIA’s Fall/Winter 2023 presentation was a masterclass in technical skill and emotive storytelling. Set against the moody backdrop of a Georgian revival mansion, the collection found its perfect home among the dark-paneled halls. Sonic muse Dorian Wood set the tone with a haunting rendition of “Piensa en Mi,” echoing the collection’s themes of resilience and a poignant call to protect future generations.

Titled KANGAROO, the collection marked Willy’s first foray into evening wear, weaving a narrative of protection in an unforgiving world. Through mostly all-black ensembles, punctuated by delicate notes of gardenia white in pussy bows, flowers, and flowing panels, Willy crafted a striking body of work that challenged Eurocentric ideals of beauty and elegance. Every detail — whether crinkled, billowed, or fluid — drew attention to the artistry of tailoring, fabric, and movement, made all the more powerful by its monochromatic palette.

At its heart, KANGAROO embraced a genderless ethos, offering a deeply personal meditation on what it means to exist in the world as brown, queer, Latino, and American.

GUCCI SS25: Where the Light Finds Us

January 17, 2025

There is a dreamlike limbo between movement and stillness, between light and shadow. This precise yet indefinable space is what GUCCI’s new Spring/Summer 2025 campaign Where the Light Finds Us explores. It tells the story of two souls meeting in a suspended moment, exchanging fragments of emotions and subtle gestures in an interplay of light and shadow, offering a glimpse into the essence of the collection. Challenging the boundaries between simplicity and complexity, the new collection features lightweight fabrics intertwined with structured silhouettes and unexpected touches of color that blur the line between the real and the imaginary. Where the Light Finds Us invites us to inhabit this liminal space: a poetic expression of connection and transformation.
