"Chavarria's runway shows have often been rife with political commentary," INTOmore pointed out. "A 2017 show had his models showcase outfits from within a chain-link cage in response to the Tr*mp Administration's border policies." 

Last September he made a forceful statement at New York Fashion Week with a show he called "AMERICA" that featured his runway models in United Farm Workers sweatshirts, cropped mechanics shirts, and dungarees tailored in Chavarria's signature oversized proportion. GQ writes that "Chavarria commands among the most inclusive runways in the business, and his crew of tough, tattoo-covered models embodied a crystal clear idea of beauty and power woefully absent in the wider fashion world. 'It's really about the fact that all of us belong, all of us have purpose, and all of us have the ability to make change in this country,' Chavarria said backstage."

He also recently collaborated with HRC and Tinder "in response to the sweeping anti-LGBTQ+ executive orders we've already seen leveled against young people, specifically, in recent weeks," INTOmore reported.
