Willy Chavarria introduces BIG WILLY as a core collection that sharpens the brand’s point of view while widening its reach. Designed as an evergreen offering, the line focuses on premium essentials built for daily life, carrying the same weight, attitude, and discipline that define the runway collections. BIG WILLY is positioned as a foundation rather than a side project, distilling the WILLY universe into garments meant to be worn repeatedly, lived in, and relied upon.
MENSWEAR
The collection first appeared in Paris during a runway show that fused fashion, film, and music into a fully imagined world. Models arrived on custom lowrider bikes, set against an animated backdrop and original music performed live by Foos Gone Wild. The cast included Foos Gone Wild’s Lil Mr. E alongside Ricky Alvarez, Chino Salazar, and other familiar figures from Chavarria’s extended creative community. The presentation framed BIG WILLY as cultural expression rather than product launch, grounding the clothes in character, movement, and shared experience.
At its core, BIG WILLY is built around classic forms reworked with intention. The assortment includes khaki and black chinos, workwear shirts, bomber jackets, and Sutton coach jackets, each marked with the new BIG WILLY logo. These pieces reference uniforms of labor, youth, and street culture, translated through refined construction and considered proportions. The focus stays on wearability and longevity, with silhouettes shaped by years of lived experience rather than seasonal trend cycles.
Cheeky details add a layer of commentary without overpowering the garments. Magnetic security tags that convert into pendants and removable sale labels play with familiar symbols of class, access, and retail culture. These elements function as quiet provocations, nodding to the systems that surround fashion while keeping the clothes grounded in function. The result feels knowing but direct, expressive without excess.
For Willy Chavarria, BIG WILLY represents the heart of his practice. The collection draws from the clothes people grow up wearing and continue to depend on through work, travel, family, and survival. By rebuilding these familiar forms with better materials and disciplined design, Chavarria frames BIG WILLY as a commitment to accessibility without compromise. The aim is clear: extend the WILLY design language to a broader audience while maintaining quality, integrity, and respect for the body.
Now available exclusively through the Willy Chavarria website in limited quantities, BIG WILLY stands as a uniform for those who live fully and dress with purpose. It offers comfort that feels deliberate, quality designed for real life, and style that requires no permission.
