Willy Chavarria Autumn/Winter 2026: ETERNO

Fashion

Willy Chavarria’s ETERNO arrived as a fully realised world, a cinematic exploration of style, emotion, and connection. Guests entered a streetscape of New York City, scented by Byredo, where models moved among projections and installations titled 'The Avenue of Truth'. 

Conversations, laughter, and even intimate moments on screen unfolded alongside the clothes, placing human connection at the centre of the collection. Here, fashion was not performance, but a reflection of life in motion.

The collection opened with sharp tailoring and elevated daywear. Cropped suits with loose hips, flowing sateen skirts, and layered knits moved easily across men’s and women’s figures, while soft tones of dim mint, blush pink, and warm orange-red highlighted the interplay of silhouette and form. Each piece was thoughtfully crafted to move with intention, suggesting a wardrobe both practical and cinematic, one that could transition seamlessly from street to office to evening.

BIG WILLY, Chavarria’s new entry-level line, arrived next, injecting humour, energy, and accessibility into the presentation. Bomber jackets, khaki and black chinos, and matching workwear shirts carried bold logo graphics, offering pieces that retain the ethos of the house without compromise. The playful, inclusive spirit extended through Chavarria’s collaboration with Grindr, hinted at through mesh underwear and intimate storytelling on screen. Love, desire, and human connection were present in every gesture, framing fashion as an instrument for identity and community.

The show culminated in formalwear that felt effortless yet exacting. Relaxed tuxedos for men sat alongside textured cocktail dresses and sculptural gowns for women, designed for slow, intentional movement. Tailoring retained Chavarria’s signature codes—slim waists, slightly broadened shoulders, and flattering hips—while colour and texture offered emotion in every detail. Rose motifs, Italian pleats, distressed leathers, and soft silks layered richness and romance throughout, creating garments that are tactile as well as visual.

Footwear and accessories punctuated the narrative. Women’s Furia heels and Pepa pumps, alongside men’s Salon Loafers and Antonio boots, combined sculptural form with practicality. Italian-made suedes, napas, and calfskins lent presence, while new bags, including the Bronca, demonstrated how functional design can make a statement. Archive and unreleased Ray-Ban eyewear reinforced the collection’s dialogue between heritage and modernity, completing a universe that felt cohesive and personal.

ETERNO is more than a collection; it is a story of love, identity, and human intimacy, told through clothing. Willy Chavarria proves that fashion can hold both grandeur and vulnerability, accessibility and refinement. This is a wardrobe designed to move with life, to hold space for the wearer, and to reflect not just how we look, but who we want to be.
