Willy Chavarria’s eponymous label has released a unique set of panel T-shirts inspired by the prisonwear of Pachucos. A brand with contemporary Chicano streetwear leanings, WILLY CHAVARRIA references the Pachuco subculture which in turn, influenced youth Chicano culture in the 1950s. With a drastically reworked seam, the panel top lends itself well to WILLY CHAVARIA’S loose-form layering style. Priced at ¥16,500 JPY (approximately $162 USD), the latest offerings from WILLY CHAVARRIA can be purchased at WISM‘s Shibuya store.
