在白头发下之前,在风帽前,在最高的前,有威利戴。威利·史密斯创造了包容和解放的时尚:“我不为女王设计衣服,而是在她走过的时候向她挥手的人。”。史密斯从离开帕森斯时起就开始在1976年与劳里·马莱特一起找到威利·佩尔,1987年他不幸去世,成为他那个时代最成功的设计师之一。史密斯打破了他的街头时装的界限,开拓了艺术家、表演者和设计师之间的合作,这些合作在今天与现场建筑师Nam June Paik、Christo和JeanneClaude、Spike Lee、DanFriedman、BillT等项目中很常见。琼斯和阿尼·赞。
African-American fashion designer Willi Smith, pioneer of streetwear and visionary collaborator, finally gets his due in an exuberant celebration of his life and work.
Before Off-White, before Hood By Air, before Supreme, there was WilliWear. Willi Smith created inclusive and liberating fashion: "I don't design clothes for the queen, but the people who wave at her as she goes by," he said. A rising star from the time he left Parsons, Smith went on to found WilliWear with Laurie Mallet in 1976 and became one of the most successful designers of his era by his untimely death in 1987. Smith broke boundaries with his streetwear, or "street couture," and trailblazed the collaborations between artists, performers, and designers commonplace today in projects with SITE Architects, Nam June Paik, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Spike Lee, Dan Friedman, Bill T. Jones, and Arnie Zane.
