Willy Chavarria
eBay
For Paris Fashion Week, eBay partnered with CFDA American Menswear Designer of the Year Willy Chavarria to bring pre-loved fashion to the runway. Known for pulling from vintage and archival references, Chavarria worked with eBay to source pieces from his own past collections and weave them directly into his AW25 Paris debut. His latest collection, Tarantula, mixed these pre-loved finds with new designs, showing how archival fashion can live side by side with what’s next. The result reinforced eBay as a go-to destination for high-end vintage and designer pieces, while spotlighting the power of circular fashion.

Supporting LA Wildfire Relief
In a tribute to his California roots and to aid wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles, Chavarria auctioned a runway-exclusive Chuco suit on eBay. Right after his Paris debut, fans had the chance to bid on this one-of-a-kind piece from the AW25 collection, with all proceeds going directly to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund.
