1989 Rare Red Print Patrick Kelly Suit

Wonderful, 1980s suit from one of my favorite designers- the great Patrick Kelly. Kelly only produced collections for five short years - starting in 1985 and ending with his death in 1990. His designs were exuberant and witty - they were avant garde and he was bold through his use of color! His work has been the subject of Museums exhibits worldwide. This suit is part of a collection where this pattern was repeated though out in different colors, including this fantastic red. It is bright and vibrant and the fabric is a subtly textured cotton so that on close inspection you get an interesting play between the pattern and the fabric itself. The skirt is pencil cut with a wide waistband and side slanted front pockets. The jacket is fitted and cut to follow the body. I love the huge red glossy buttons that adorn the front and each cuff. The jacket also has front top stitched pockets. Excellent condition and appears to have never been worn.

Bust: 18" from side seam to side seam
Waist: 15" from side seam to side seam
