In the decade since launching his namesake label, Willy Chavarria has accomplished some big moments all while remaining true to his gospel from day one: that fashion is political.

Now, the CFDA member adds editor to his resume, serving as the latest curator for the new issue of Antwerp-founded “A Magazine Curated By,” which invites a new guest to shape every issue.

Growing up in a Mexican-American home in Huron, California, Chavarria draws from the visual language of urban and rural working class Chicano communities in the state’s Central Valley. The issue explores Latin-American aesthetic heritage while forging a cultural dialogue beyond fashion and into activism.

Willy is unafraid to delve into the intimate themes closest to his heart: identity, human dignity and the power of community.

Closing the publication is a dialogue on faith and meaning between the designer and Bishop Mariann Budde, whose sermon at the most recent American presidential inauguration was heard the world over. In a moving exchange on compassion and love, their conversation underscores the essence of the issue and its title: Love Commandments.

Congrats, Willy!
