About Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love

Patrick Kelly's bold and bright creations stood out on Parisian streets, in nightclubs, and on the runway. See nearly 80 of his joyful yet sophisticated designs up close, including his signature heart-shaped patterns, corsets made entirely out of buttons, and a literal "banana" skirt. These head-turning ensembles will inspire a fashion risk or two. Opens October 23 at the de Young museum.
