Lidow Archive Edit:

Patrick Kelly

 
 
 

At a time when Eurocentric ideals dominated the fashion scene, designer Patrick Kelly rose to fame through his experimental, irreverent and forward-thinking designs that masterfully explored the complexity and beauty of Blackness. To pay tribute to the famed 1980s designer’s everlasting legacy, LIDOW ARCHIVE has curated an exclusive edit in his honor to mark the end of Black History Month. From a bubblegum pink tweed skirt-suit fashioned with a bevvy of colorful, mismatched buttons to a plush moto-inspired jacket emblazoned with nails to a dramatic, red knit dress bedecked in bows, this collection highlights the designer’s grandeur, craftsmanship and couture sensibility in bold fashion.
