A very special vintage Patrick Kelly lace blouse. Patrick Kelly was a famed African-American fashion designer, whose legacy as an enthusiastic and determined young creative paved the way for a generation of black designers today. Kelly showed 10 extravagant and whimsical womenswear collections under his own label in Paris (which this blouse is from). In 1988, he was inducted into the Chambre Syndicale, the first American designer to be voted in.
A very collectible item for those who love fashion history and want to wear this incredibly beautiful blouse from one of America's most talented Black designers.
