Willy Chavarria is ready to make his mark on footwear.
Next month, the 2023 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year will reveal his first signature dress shoe he created in collaboration with American footwear brand Allen Edmonds.
The new style, dubbed “The Jalisco,” is a split-toe derby oxford with a 54mm Cuban heel crafted in classic black box calf leather that aims to embody a classic dress shoe design while pushing the boundaries of formality and gender.
