Willi Smith (1948-1987)

Willi Smith, cofounder of the WilliWear company, has been called "the most successful black designer in fashion history."

Although his clientele included wealthy and striking people, his principal aim was to design clothing that was stylish yet affordable and that people would admire wearing. He favored
natural fabrics and clothes since they are more functional for the standard consumer. "Models pose in clothes," he said. "People live in them."Willi Donnell Smith was one of the most successful African-American fashion designers in history. At its peak, his company Williwear Ltd. sold $25 million worth of clothing a year.

He designed the wedding dress worn by Mary Jane Watson when she married Peter Parker in the Spider-Man comic book and comic strip in 1987 and the suits for Edwin Schlossberg and his groomsmen when he married Caroline Kennedy in 1986. Smith also designed the uniforms for the workers on Christo's 1985 wrapping of the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris and clothes for Spike Lee 's 1987 film School Daze (1987).

Smith died at the relatively young age of 39 after come down with shigella and pneumonia as a result of AIDS. He is the brother of actress and model Toukie Smith.

it's a LOT of work, time and dedication. Far more than most people are willing to put, seen the Devil Wears Prada? It takes a LOT of sacrifices and most people can't deal with that so they give up. To become a designer, sure you can, and even one that makes a good amount of money, a famous one, very slim.
