EVENT TWENTY-TWO

BRAND EVENT AT MAXFIELD

Multi-platinum artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist YG attended an exclusive Willy Chavarria brand event.

MAXFIELD | MARCH 22ND 2024 | WEST HOLLYWOOD

MERLE'S CLOSET | FASHION COMMENTARY  | GOINGS ON | THE REAL DEAL | NOCTURNES

Come into Merle’s Closet for an insider’s view of the inner world of L.A. style.

Billie Eilish is not the only muse of CFA-award winning NY designer (and OG Angeleno) Willy Chavarria. The iconoclastic singer wears his unisex designer on red carpets – like this year’s Golden Globes and Grammy’s. “My other muses are,” Willy told me, “are Madonna and boyfriend (boxer) Josh Popper, and that guy who played Dario on Griselda (actor Alberto Guerra). And of course, YG.” Chavarria did a personal appearance at Maxfield for an installation of his spring collection, with YG in tow – the rapper walked in Chavarria’s NYFW spring/summer 2024 collection show. Willy worked his way up the fashion ladder, working for Nick Graham, Ralph Lauren, Yeezy Gap and Calvin Klein. Next for WC: “a new underwear line – I call it ‘dirty filthy’ – with holes, semen stains (we think he’s kidding); they’ll sell for $350 a pair.” Sounds like he’s got another hit on his hands – and bod.
