The American Apparel & Footwear Association hosted its 2023 American Image Awards at New York’s Plaza Hotel, honoring some of the fashion industry’s key leaders and advocates.
“It says so much about all of us today and so much about our industry and how we’ve grown to recognize someone like me,” Chavarria said during his acceptance speech. “Someone with a mission like mine and someone who really cares about the impacts we can have on society with a renewed look at human dignity, which is what the foundation of my brand actually is. It is beautiful, I’d have to say, but the foundation is really about lifting people up and that is really why I started doing this.
He went on to explain the deeper purpose of his namesake fashion label, stating: “I discovered my place in fashion after some years of working within the industry, developing my skills and learning about this industry, but, it wasn’t until later in life that I realized my purpose, and my purpose was to create change — to use what we do to make people think and feel better about ourselves.”
