Duster
This is a Duster. It was designed by Willi Smith and made for WilliWear Ltd..
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Norman Smith as part of Willi Smith: Street Couture.
The safari-suit reboots seen in Expedition reflect Smith's awareness of colonialism and his use of elements associated with the history of colonial dress in West Africa and Southest Asia.
This object was previously on display as a part of the exhibition Willi Smith: Street Couture.
