 Willy Chavarria’s After-Party

A rising star on the New York fashion scene, Willy Chavarria is making his entry into the official Paris Fashion Week calendar this year. For his de debut in the French capital, the Mexican-American fashion designer has taken inspiration from the principle of “chiaroscuro” to create a collection that, just like Caravaggio did with oil painting, uses the contrast between light and darkness to evoke the tensions and turmoil of the current political landscape. Borrowing its name from the title of a song by This Mortal Coil, the collection uses the figure of the tarantula to further push this clash of contrasts, because while this arthropod is often deemed evil and monstrous, it also has a beautiful and soft side. 

The after-party for the Tarantula fashion show was held at l’Aventure, a new venue in the 8th arrondissement, where we met up with the brand’s inner circle, including Paloma Elsesser, Becky G, J Balvin, Valentina Ferrer, Cheva and Kai-Isaiah Jamal. Naturally, as a tribute to the designer’s origins, premium Mexican tequila brand Don Julio took over the bar. Guests were introduced to the Paloma Don Julio Blanco cocktail and the iconic 1942 bottle. The designer recently collaborated with the Mexican brand to create the Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino bottle (available in the US).
