The Willy Chavarria @willychavarria special story shot by Stevie and Mada @steviemada for PURPLE #44 F/W 2025 The Analog issue
The flamboyant Angeleno designer Willy Chavarria, now showing his spectacular collections in Paris, draws on colorful religious and Chicano iconography to convey a universal message of inclusivity, political resistance, and gender fluidity — a message that he wants to truly resonate in the streets rather than on digital platforms.
