The Latino designer’s visionary approach to design provide fans with reimagined takes on the iconic silhouettes of hero Dickies products.
The Latino designer imbues his collections with a sense of drama, excitement and social awareness. He is known for his oversize garments and lowrider inspired silhouettes, dropped shoulders, ruching, wide legs and cropped cuts, always aiming to make his namesake label inclusive and representative of the realities of life through the lens of fashion. A look from the Willy Chavarria x Dickies collaboration.Chavarria has had an extensive relationship with the workwear landscape.
In 2014, Dickies recruited Chavarria to help launch “Construct,” a premium label coinciding with culture’s surging interest in elevated workwear, and the Chavarria has featured extensive collaborations each season within his namesake brand. The need for workwear has slowly become part of Chavarria consumers’ rotation. Affordable and hard-wearing, these products have become an evergreen alternative to the hamster wheel of the industry’s trend cycle.
“I always look to combine exaggerated silhouettes, soft tailoring and functionality within my designs. It is important for me to show history’s iconic styling of Dickie’s workwear through an elegant fashion lens. With this collaboration we wanted to take the most classic Dickies styles and reinterpret them to have more intentional design features — bold sleeves, strong lines and interesting proportions whilst still creating an aesthetic that is authentic to both brands,” Chavarria said.
“Workwear is something that continually evolves to reflect the times and the way people think. Workwear is now sportswear. It was Chicano culture that launched the concept of wearing workwear as a clean and polished aesthetic. The look was later adopted by gang culture and then borrowed by skate culture in the ’90s. In the early 2000s, we saw a huge crossover trend bringing workwear as streetwear into the mass market.
