Byredo and Willy Chavarria joined forces to celebrate the designer Willy Chavarria, named American Menswear Designer of the Year by the CFDA, with a late-night celebration in New York City.
Welcoming over 300 friends to Jean’s in Noho, guests danced throughout the night to music curated by Eli Escobar, Marco Neves and Devoye. The downtown restaurant was saturated in a rich red and laden with Byredo candles – a nod to the olfactory elements inherent in the designer’s creative rituals. Roses and carnations were employed throughout the space as a reference to motifs common throughout Willy’s designs.
Guests included: Willy Chavarria, Mahmood, Omar Apollo, Precious Lee, Danny Ramirez, Valentina Sampaio, Alex Consani, Alton Mason, Paloma Elsesser, Winnie Harlow, Addison Rae, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Susanne Bartsch, Rebecca Hall, Aweng Chuol, Tanner Richie, Alix Earle, Steven Kolb, Tyler Mitchell, Mickalene Thomas, Alva Claire, LaQuan Smith, Raul Lopez amongst others.
Byredo & Willy Chavarria were brought together by a shared passion for translating memories and emotions into meaningful objects and experiences. The evening was a celebration of the resilient spirit of the American fashion industry and Willy’s creative vision.
