Man About Town: Willy Chavarria

Apr 2025

This fashion editorial for Man About Town showcases the latest menswear collection from designer Willy Chavarria. Captured through the lens of photographer Diego Bendezu, the series leans into an avant-garde aesthetic that balances sculptural silhouettes with rich, saturated jewel tones. Styling by Chino Castilla drives the narrative, featuring crushed velvet suits, layered religious iconography, and stark, high-contrast accessories. The execution employs varied techniques, ranging from moody, chiaroscuro-heavy portraits to clean studio setups that reveal the raw, collaborative nature of the production. Hair by Chika Nishiyama and makeup by Mitch Yoshida further define the moody, tactile quality of the imagery, emphasizing a blend of raw textures and refined tailoring.
