    "My mother and grandmother...taught me that you didn't have to be rich to look good. I believe that good clothes don't have to be expensive." — Willi Smith. What inexpensive but indispensable items are in your wardrobe?

    6 mannequins installed at various heights display fashion items designed by Willi Smith. On the left a female mannequin wears a shite skirt, a pink and white checkered blouse that is tied in a knot at the chest, and a headdress made of the same pattern. To the right is another female mannequin wearing an off-white jumpsuit and another mannequin on a higher level behind wears the same design but in brown. Right of that is a male mannequin wearing a blue and white checkered sleeve-less shirt and blue and white stripped shorts, and behind at a higher level is another mannequin wearing the same design but in purple and white. Furthest right is a female mannequin wearing a yellow and purple patterned dress.
