Q&A with fashion designer Willy Chavarria

Evening Standard

Transcript

00:00Hello the London Standard. I'm Willie Chawarria and I am here in Covent Garden enjoying a brisk morning.

00:09My favorite secret spot in New York City is the coolest restaurant. It's called Jeans.

00:15There are a couple of jeans. So the jeans I'm talking about is G-E-N-E-S and it's in the West Village

00:24and it's like stepping back in time and they have the best martinis and best steak.

00:30And then actually there's another restaurant called Jeans in Tribeca that's a whole nother vibe that's more modern and super cool.

00:39So I'd say those two jeans.

00:40Where I let my hair down in London is my hotel room because it feels so good when I get into that bed after a long day.

00:50And this hair takes a lot of product. So I usually just wash it out and let it free for the night.

00:58I have a friend that I haven't yet called and it's Charles Jeffery.

01:02Next time I'm in London or maybe this time on this trip, he's the one that I will call to have fun.

01:08My go-to party outfit is usually what I'm wearing that day with the blazer.

01:14A woman who fell down on the runway and then she caused the woman behind her to fall.

01:21So it kind of turned into a domino effect.

01:23That was hideous, but it was one of my earlier shows, thank God.

01:28And I think it kind of got missed by the cameras.

01:31But she never walked again for me.

01:34Another awful thing to happen during a runway show, when things get stolen, there's always some model that walks off with some like $20,000 item.

01:44And I'm like, oh God, but what can I do?

01:47And I love when Kendrick Lamar wears Willie Chavarria.

01:52It's kind of my favorite.

01:54And Dochi, my other favorite.

01:56And Pamela Anderson.

02:00And I'm actually very excited when anyone wears my clothes, even if they're not a celebrity.

02:07Oh, Christmas Day dressing.

02:10Well, in the daytime, you want to stay very snuggly-wugly.

02:15So you want to wear soft things, preferably cashmere and socks.

02:21And then in the evening, you want to put on a pair of shiny loafers and a blazer and go to Midnight Mass.

02:30We are having our first ever London Dover Street Market celebration with the launch of some really cool Willie stuff.

02:40A lot of exclusives just for Dover Street.

02:44We're going to have a really nice build out and lots of fun people, great DJ.

02:49So please come by and check it out.

02:52It's going to be pretty amazing.
