A Magazine curated by

The 28th issue has been curated by Willy Chavarria, Mexican-American designer and founder of his eponymous label.

Ten years since the founding of his eponymous brand, Willy not only recognises the power clothing and dress — and sometimes a bit of spectacle — have as a catalyst to amplify Chicano cultural heritage, language, music, art and religion, but that fashion also is a means to create social change in the fight for equal human rights, not only for Black and Brown people, but also for the working class, for LGBTQ+ people and for other marginalised groups facing bigotry and hatred. Willy leads with a confident and courageous step, living to his own commandments, virtues deeply imbedded by his upbringing and his sense of faith and moral compass.

This issue is a testament to the continued fight in the face of provocation and fear and to the acknowledgement of humanity’s limitless possibility and a hope for a better world. It is a call to look at suffering, to find those people who need a hand and to shine a light towards that darkness so that we can make it out, together. May this issue be your benediction for beauty, community, human dignity — sometimes a little laughter — but most of all for love.
