documented jacket from a wonderful designer. Patrick Kelly was a Black American designer who rose to fame in France in the 1980s. self-taught, he was the first American designer to be included in the country’s Chambre syndicale du prêt-à-porter. this jacket was used in promotional materials at the time and was also featured in the 1988 F/W runway show. his career was cut tragically short, making his pieces quite rare, hard to come by and collectible.
