The Streets Are Our Runways
Fashion has never belonged exclusively to the runway. It lives in the streets, in our communities, and in the everyday people who transform clothing into an expression of identity.
“The Streets Are Our Runways” pays tribute to Willi Smith, the pioneering Black fashion designer whose revolutionary vision helped redefine American streetwear. Through his label, WilliWear, Smith challenged the boundaries between high fashion and everyday life, celebrating individuality, accessibility, and the freedom to express oneself.
Through layered textures, fabric, and vibrant color, Reggie McFly brings Smith’s legacy to life, honoring the relationship between fashion, culture, and personal expression.
This painting is more than a tribute to a designer. It is a celebration of those who understand that style is not defined by status, but by the confidence to be yourself.
Because the streets have always been our runways.
