Fans of Willy Chavarria gathered in a Greenpoint waterfront event space Friday evening, kicking off the first day of New York Fashion Week with the designer's fall 2024 show.
The front row included Sam Smith, who declined interviews while sitting next to his designer friend Christian Cowan, as well as Julia Fox, Richie Shazam, Becky G, Gabbriette, Amanda Lepore, Briana Andalore, Aquaria and more.
Lepore wore a sparkly corset and matching pencil skirt. “I did this during the pandemic,” she said of the ensemble. “I didn’t know what to do with myself.”
Lapore and Chavarria move in the same circles and she has known the designer for years.
“I think it's cool that it's very Spanish and I like seeing its culture,” she said.
And how does she juggle it all during Fashion Week? “Just be disciplined with your time. Try multitasking.”
She was then joined by her friend Susanne Bartsch, who showed off a pair of hot pants with “pu—y” written on them.
“[My look] It felt so fancy that I thought, 'Let me screw it up,'” she said.
Fox made a dramatic entrance in a white flowing dress and hat, along with a matching small heart-shaped pillow.
“I’m a pillow princess,” she said.
“I'm really into my bridal drama, very feminine, with bows, comfy-girly aesthetic. And I thought if I continued to embody that, that's what my life would become,” she added.
On Valentine's Day she will be with her son Valentino.
“My forever Valentine,” she said. “And that’s the only Valentine’s Day I need.”
