The Cinematic References Behind Willy Chavarria S/S 25 | Episode 1

Fashion designer Willy Chavarria joins fashion critic M-C Hill days after his latest S/S 25 catwalk show, 'Ameríca,' to revisit his favourite five films that explain the contradictory ideals behind the American Dream. Chavarria's S/S 25 collection used metaphors of class hierarchies, chauvinism, demonic possession and visual grandeur among films 'The Exorcist', '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Salt Of The Earth' to express his collection as 'the real Ameríca.'
