Title
Willi Ninja in his studio, 1989.
Description
Willi, considered a pioneering godfather of voguing became one of the scene's biggest mainstream successes, featuring in Malcolm McLaren's vogue-inspired hit Deep in Vogue and going on to coach many supermodels in the art of runway walking. Without him it's unlikely Madonna would have touched upon Vogue in 1990. The House of Ninja was founded with the aim of mixing Asian influences with voguing. Willi died in 2006.
