We have 16 objects that Vignelli Center for Design Studies has been involved with.

A yellow are red rectangular Runway invitation. Left side of the invitation is yellow with the words 'CITY ISLAND' written across the top. In the middle a small white and black rectangle. The left side of the rectangle reads Willie Wear and on the white side reads Willie Smith. Below on the left side text 'You are cordially invited to attend a Spring '84 Collection. On the right text ' 2 Flight, Passenger Ticket and Baggage Check'.

Illustation is a lithograph on tracing paper. A woman is wearing a summer casual outfit. From top to bottom, the woman is wearing dark sunglasses that covers the eyes. The woman is wearing a shirt that has rolled up sleeves on both arms. The shirt is tucked into an overall outfit. The outfit covers the body from below the bust line to halfway down the thigh. The overall has an accessory which is a belt which is knotted at the waist line. This gives the appearance that the overall is two separate pieces of clothing. The outfit is completed with a pair of striped socks which are tucked into a pair of ankle high sneakers or boots.

A man and a woman are dressed in the same outfit made by WilliWear Ltd.. The unisex outfits consist of an oversized button down collared shirt, loose fitted/ straight legged pants cuffed about 4 inches above the ankle, long socks buched at the ankle, and high top sneakers, all of which are solid white. The man wears an additional white jacket over his button down shirt, and the woman uses a white head scarf tied behind her head to accessorize. With the womans arm over his shoulders, the man takes his right hand and interlocks fingers with her; together they both slightly lunge towards the left side of the frame, though mostly centered, filling up the entire image.

The top part of the body is covered by a long overcoat with a checkered pattern. Beneath the overcoat he is wearing a dress shirt which is tucked into a pair of pants. The pants are tucked into a pair of black shoes/sneakers. The man has his hands in both front pockets of his pants.
