My Valentine’s Day/anti-Valentine’s Day Jewels of the Month countdown made me postpone a number of outfit posts, so it’s time to catch up on fashion.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrated its Patrick Kelly “Runway of Love” exhibit with an opening night party on Saturday.

Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again

February 22, 2011 by WendyB

Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…

Patrick Kelly Has Landed

October 22, 2008 by WendyB

I want to get more emails like the one I recently got from gorgeous client Melissa. She was so enthused about the leopard-spotted Patrick Kelly dress I posted about that she sniped it from eBay.

Throwback Thursday: Designer Patrick Kelly

September 24, 2020 by WendyB

Every time I think I’m settling back in to a daily blogging schedule, the urgent fight against white supremacists and dictatorship calls me away.  Sometimes breaking news even cancels planned protest actions, like last weekend, when the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg caused my team to postpone our #TrumpRat art project in…

Wednesday’s Video: All About Patrick Kelly

March 13, 2019 by WendyB

I’ve been wanting to do a video about the late fashion designer Patrick Kelly since I started doing YouTube videos in 2017.
