Work
WILLIENORRISWORKSHOP is a container for the creative practice, collaborative projects and commercial products of American fashion designer Willie Norris. Established 2018 in New York City.
WILLIE NORRIS is an American fashion designer working and living in Brooklyn, NYC. Described by The New York Times as a “master of bringing together,” her work finds its home at the intersection of clothing and communication.
Since 2020, she has been the design director of Brooklyn-based menswear brand OUTLIER where she has worked as a designer since 2015. In late 2020, she introduced her IDEAS series, which now acts as a biannual runway platform for the brand. IDEAS 3 marked the inaugural IDEAS collection to be featured on VOGUE RUNWAY. In her review, Steff Yotka says, "Actually maybe this is Norris's best idea: That fashion collections are both a progression and a new beginning. Clothes come to life over time, and it takes bodies inside them to breathe purpose into every legging, trouser, and skirt."
