Description

Willi Smith Street Couture by Alexandra Cunningham Cameron is an exuberant celebration of the life and work of African-American fashion designer Willi Smith. A pioneer of streetwear, Smith broke boundaries with his inclusive and liberating fashion, which paved the way for future collaborations between artists, performers, and designers. Smith's career was marked by trailblazing partnerships with SITE Architects, Nam June Paik, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Spike Lee, Dan Friedman, Bill T. Jones, and Arnie Zane, among others. This book brings together essays from leading figures in fashion, art, architecture, and cultural studies, paired with never-before-seen images and ephemera, to provide a comprehensive look at the evolution of streetwear culture. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of streetwear and the fashion industry, Willi Smith Street Couture offers a unique perspective on the life and work of a true visionary.
