- Fashion designer Willi Smith, is one of the designers that painted the picture, for my possibilities, to realize my gifts. He had the formula for magic& sales, his clothes were amazingly comfortable, I remember when I purchase my first pair of Willi-wear slacks, I said out loud, " this designer is designing with me in mind", I Loved him, everybody did!...,ds
Very talented designer. RIP Willie
Rip Willie he was my First Cousin very Talented and hilarious that was our Grandmother Nana I worked for Willie in 77 in shipping and receiving and taking clothes on those long Racks to high end stores I appreciated the opportunity being from Philly NY was hard I eventually went into Coast Guard and went back from lived there7 years his nickname in the family Darnell to my grandmother Punzel Rip Willie
My fave designer OF ALL TIME.
My last of high school was in 87 at Overbrook high school and I had a sewing class my first three periods of school and my teacher whom I don’t remember her name used to rave about Wili Smith, but at that time the only Will Smith I knew was a prior school mate of mine Will “ Fresh Prince” Smith. So it’s very cool to see this video of Willi Smith the famous fashion designer from my Alma Mater Overbrook High. He was a legend fo sho.
Like Patrick Kelly, ICONS. Gone too soon. Love your designs Willi Smith
Omg didn’t know he designed way back then you better werrrrrkkkk willie, I rocked his 80 clothes
I worked with Willi and loved his spirit. I miss you Willi!

You'll never see another like him
Bought a Willie Wear tee shirt back in the day he was signing autographs at Northland Mall in Southfield and at the same time met jazz guitarist Earl Klugh.What talent
WONDERFUL PIECE DOUGLAS...WILLI SMITH WAS THE HOPE AND DREAM OF A YOUNG FASHIONISTA...ECSPECIALLY TO BLACK YOUTH.
I was one of those young fashion designers energized by knowing that Willie Smith came from my city. I wish this documentary was longer.
Fantastic video montage. His work and legacy can not be forgotten.
oh wow, I wanted to see more of that at the end.. shame I was just a kid at his height.. I vaguely remember his face from back then, but I definitely remember the shapes and styles of his fashions.. I remember seeing his name on Spike Lee's credits and in Ebony/Jet magazines.. ahhh the 80s.. take me back..💖
I had great piece from Willi Smith it was comfortable!
I remember finding and buying my first Willi wear item at Unique warehouse, at the time I wasn't familiar with who he was, however, I knew that I felt that they were cut just for me and from then on out I was a Willi wear fan...ds
Had to revisit Willi with our Grandmother Nana Gladys Bush whi lived too 100 his Brother Norman and Little girl on his Shoulder my Daughter Latasha who will be 39 and Family and Morher of 2
Willie will be honored in March
Great piece!!!
Willi Wear clothes were great at the time
Wow, that music was horrible ...but the memoirs I cherish , he was the one black designer I knew of w/I was in high school , and the only reason I felt there was a place for me in the fashion industry at 18 yo in 1978. . My graduation suit from design school was a Willi Wear suit I had saved up to get and wore w/pride. That was actually my first of very few real designer garments I owned.
Most of the black designers now are so full of hype/ pomp and circumstance , and their work forgettable not to mention disposable.
Most fashion designers, period. I love creativity, but without craftsmanship Iose interest.
Shouldn't they be a movie being made ,Willie Smith and Patrick Henry and others
I love his famous quote ...he does not design for the woman wearing his clothes, he designs for the woman that wave at them when they pass by... I may be quoted him incorrectly but it was along those lines. But still a beautiful connotation.
