Why the Visionary Designer Willi Smith Is More Relevant Than Ever


Why the Visionary Designer Willi Smith Is More Relevant Than Ever
Smith built one of the most influential fashion brands of the 1980s. An exhibition illustrates the breadth of his talents—and the limits of how fashion is chronicled.
Willi Smith, c. 1981
In 1978, when submitting his biography to the Coty awards, a respected fashion prize, the designer Willi Smith, of WilliWear, wrote, “My mother and grandmother were always ladies of style and still are. I guess they taught me that you didn’t have to be rich to look good. I believe that good clothes don’t have to be expensive.” In appearance, if not price point, WilliWear then was all that fashion is now: sporty, casual, gender-neutral, a mash-up of “high” and “low” (though Smith would never have categorized culture, or life, in those terms), and replete with bold graphic prints and fine-art collaborations. Name your contemporary fashion icon—Kim Jones, Virgil Abloh, Supreme’s James Jebbia—and Smith foreshadowed them. WilliWear was also about more than clothes, as most fashion brands are now; Smith talked of wanting to revolutionize marketing, and he worked across architecture, film, art, and performance, collaborating with the likes of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, SITE, Keith Haring, and Barbara Kruger. He even considered starting a magazine, mocking up a few copies in the mid-1980s, preempting the current role brands have embraced as publishers, speaking to broad audiences of viewers and followers, rather than simply dedicated pools of clients.

The art of power dressing with Michelle Obama's stylist Meredith Koop


Throughout the years, Michelle Obama has become a style icon. 
Her stylist, Meredith Koop, has helped Obama become the noted fashion icon she is today. 
Koop and Black professionals weighed in on the lasting impact of Obama's style and what it says about power dressing. 
Daniella Carter said if she's learned one thing from Michelle Obama's style, it's what an unapologetic Black successful woman looks like "even when there are people in the world spewing hate." 
Carter is a Black trans activist and founder of the eponymous "Guest Book" which highlights creators of color. 
She grew up in foster care but said seeing Obama "suited-and-booted" made her always remember that though she may not have had a mother who looked like her, she would learn to carry herself so that she and her future daughter could both grow up to be unapologetic Black, successful women.

'A new wave': Kamala Harris elevates black designers on world stage | Fashion


By wearing fashion labels Pyer Moss, Christopher John Rogers and Sergio Hudson during last week’s inauguration events, Harris was aligning the new administration’s commitment to diversity with the fashion industry’s attempt to move past systemic, historic racism into a new era. A new era where designers of color get the same opportunities that their white counterparts have had for years.
“When it comes to inauguration events, black designers have been almost exclusively absent,” said the author Ronda Racha Penrice, “so it was nice to discover that the fabulous outfits [were] created by black designers.”
The concept of “the new” was seen directly on Tuesday when Harris attended an event paying tribute to those lost to the pandemic. She wore a camel color coat featuring a distinctive water design on the back. “The wave means ‘a new wave’,” said the designer Kerby Jean-Raymond, owner of Pyer Moss, who thought the symbol could be read in the context of the administration being unafraid to confront America’s racist past.
