CERTAINTY The quality or state of being certain (given to or marked by complete assurance and conviction):

In his work, Willy Chavarria often draws inspiration from Chicano and gay subcultural styles. He challenges normative conventions of masculinity by combining the outsize and body-altering proportions of streetwear with emotional and political themes related to family, community, and sexuality. His spring/summer 2021 ''Cut Deep" collection was staged in a New-York barbershop - a site devoted to male beauty and fellowship. These ensembles are part of a series of floor-length, billowing trousers worn only with silk-satin boxer shorts. The high, cinched waists and pleated fullness of the ensembles mimic the elegant silhouette of a woman's evening gown.
