You never really get to see what some of the original cowboys looked like.
They looked like us, they looked like me.
They looked Native American.

Williams said: Were expressing ourselves from a place of love, no judgment.
Lace shirts were embroidered with lasso-throwing cowboys and denim jackets with yellow desert flowers.
Chaps in leather or denimpossibly a first for the housewere embroidered in saddlery patterns or fringed and flowered.

The first rodeos Damoflage was reinterpreted into a pixelated Cowmooflage on printed calfskin trucker jackets and trunks.
This was accessorized with a black Speedy 40 set with studs and fringing.
The backstage look board referred to this as an R-Project bag: mysterious.

All this only touches on a sliver of the exceptional industry and invention this collection represented.
Yet while the savoir faire was overwhelming, the narrative it could have illuminated felt less precisely realized.
This stop on Williamss LV odyssey, you suspect, is not his last American chapter.
