Program
Runway & Show

Willy Chavarria presented his Spring/Summer 2026 Women’s collection during New York Fashion Week, following its debut in Paris. Conceived in the tradition of intimate salon presentations, the private showing offered a close viewing of the collection inside the historic Red Room at One Wall Street (just steps from his last New York runway show before moving his presentations to Paris a year earlier).

The lighting and scenography remained deliberately restrained, serving only to accentuate the landmarked 1931 Art Deco interior clad in ornamental red-and-gold mosaics. Mannequins dressed in the collection were positioned throughout the room, while platforms were sporadically filled with white magnolias to offer a soft yet sculptural counterpoint to the weight of the space.
