Patrick Kelly: The American in Paris
Patrick Kelly: The American in Paris
Filmed in New York City, Paris, and the de Young museum, this short documentary celebrates the life, career, and legacy of Patrick Kelly. Kelly’s evolution from “little young American from Mississippi to a grand master of fashion in Paris” is captured in vintage footage, as well as accounts of his friends and close collaborators. The film also offers a look into the Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love exhibition at the de Young museum.
