This is a very rare vintage Patrick Kelly leopard print dress is in a stretch fabric with ruching at the black velvet paneled sides which hugs the body perfectly. This fabulous dress is from Patrick Kelly's Fall / Winter 1989 collection and it was featured in the iconic advertisement for that season. We fell in love with the keyhole opening in bodice that is created with a fabric ""choker"" style collar.
This bodycon vintage dress closes with a back center zipper and you can accessorize it for the day or the evening!
Patrick Kelly is one of our very favorite designers here at Modig, and we love the sheer joy that bursts from his designs. He died at the peak of his career, in 1990, so we were sadly unable to experience decades of his extraordinary talent. We think that every vintage Patrick Kelly piece is a priceless treasure.
Gloria Steinem spoke at Patrick Kelly's memorial service and we believe she summed up Kelly's career perfectly; ‘Instead of dividing us with gold and jewels, he unified us with buttons and bows..”
CONDITION: Excellent
