Patrick Kelly (1954–1990) was a renowned fashion designer known for his bold, vibrant, and joyful creations that captured the hearts of people on the streets, in nightclubs, and on the runways of New York, Paris, and beyond. The first American and the first Black designer to be admitted to the governing body of the French fashion industry, Kelly had a celebrity clientele that included Madonna, Cicely Tyson, and Gloria Steinem. His designs were distinguished by a playful aesthetic combined with a boldness to openly showcase race and heritage, pushing cultural boundaries. This book, generously illustrated with hundreds of images of runway photography, garments on mannequins, and never-before-published archival materials, offers an unprecedented exploration of Kelly's influential career, which tragically ended due to complications from AIDS. More than 80 of Kelly's most beloved works are featured alongside thoughtful essays that examine his work in relation to French fashion, LGBTQ+ identity, Black identity, and his exuberant runway shows. A detailed timeline decorated with archival photographs and drawings makes this volume the definitive resource on Kelly's life and work. Published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the exhibition schedule for this captivating book includes stops at the de Young Museum in San Francisco from October 23, 2021, to April 24, 2022, and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, from June 25 to November 6, 2022.
