Willy Chavarria

Sep 2026

Willy Chavarria continues to redefine the silhouette of modern luxury with his F/W 2026 campaign, a work that captures the intersection of subculture and high-end design fashion. Under the sharp creative vision of designer Willy Chavarria and art director Jess Cuevas, the campaign leans into a tough, retro aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and relentlessly current. Photographer Diego Bendezu masterfully employs low-key lighting and chiaroscuro techniques to transform a dark, industrial brick backdrop into a cinematic stage, where models including Brynn Bonner and Erik Martinez occupy the frame with a raw, defiant energy. The styling, helmed by Caden Swift, highlights the structural brilliance of the collection, juxtaposing glossy vinyl textures and oversized tailoring against the gleaming finish of a vintage gold car. Every frame vibrates with a gritty, editorial intensity, further emphasized by the precise hair styling of Joey George and the intentional grooming from Frank B. By utilizing a high-contrast flash aesthetic, the team elevates the garments into a narrative of urban elegance and defiant individuality. This campaign serves as a masterclass in fashion storytelling, proving that when meticulous art direction meets a distinct sartorial point of view, the result is a visual language that feels entirely essential to the contemporary designer fashion landscape.
