Zara is making waves with its latest collaboration with Willy Chavarria. The designer who has gained recognition for his New York Fashion Week shows will bring a new collection of clothing, jewelry, and accessories for men and women, which will be available on the 26th of March.

“This collaboration is a way for me to share the elevated aspects of the brand vision with a wider, more democratic audience,” Chavarria says.

Chavarria also brings his storytelling into fashion, for women’s clothing, he explored styles that have previously appeared in runway shows, such as his most recent, which was staged in the Dojo de Paris against a reconstructed New York street intersection. For Zara, he imagined “a mansion in Mexico City where a family with conflict lived,”drawing inspiration from 1980s American dramas like Dallas and Dynasty mixed with Mexican telenovelas.

The Willy Chavarria woman is represented by Christy Turlington in a Glen Luchford-lensed campaign. He highlights strong shoulders in sharply tailored jackets crafted from tropical-weight wool, patent fabrics, and leather. “I wanted to create pieces people will treasure for years. The quality is impressive,” he adds.
