he off-beat garments conceived by the late Patrick Kelly came out of a lively circus, performing brilliantly inside his imagination. Bright color and clown-like decorative details were brought together in a succession of fantastic, yet tasteful elements, curiously equivalent to the crashing sound of ringing bells. Now, featuring a bold and impressive impact, selected examples of his inspired wearables have been joined together in a dazzling exhibition of unusual styling at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The show, a handsome retrospective of his accomplishments from over the years of his working life, is titled, Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love. It will remain on public view until Nov. 30, 2014. To appreciate how much he was regarded by his peers in the field, one has to understand that Paris, a city that is especially serious about the practice of haute-couture, embraced the American-born Kelly by allowing him to join the ranks of the prestigious Chambre Syndicate, an organization made up

Interestingly, he was the only American ever accorded such recognition by members of that distinguished society. Kelly was born and raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi by his mother, a homeeconomics teacher, and his grandmother. They helped foster his love of fashion by bringing him magazines devoted to the subject. While still in junior high school, he began to design and sew party dresses for
girls in his neighborhood. Later, in high school, he began designing and dressing department store windows and drawing sketches for newspaper advertisements. He studied art formally, first at Jackson State University in the south and afterward, at Parsons School of Design in New York City. In due course, he went to Paris and founded his own fashion house there, in the 1980s. Though he achieved considerable recognition in the French capital, sadly, death claimed him in that locale, on New Year’s Day, 1980 at the age of 35, The cause was a complication that arose as a consequence of contracting AIDS. His distinctive clothing style made use of large, flat shapes on a relatively plain background. In addition, he was very much given to employing large, bright, colorful plastic buttons as decorative accessories for his dresses. In their own unusual way, they served as an identifying trademark for his unique approach. Kelly’s output was sold in America at up-scale retailers including Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdale’s. His list of clients numbered such wellknown celebrities as Bette Davis, Isabella Rosselini and Cicely Tyson. Besides the appeal of his clothing designs, he also became well-known for wearing colorful, baggy trousers and hand-spraying large painted heart shapes on some of the props that appeared on the runway in the introductory opening-show, annually Please see RUNWAY on 22

announcing his new line, every season. He was also frequently quoted for saying, he wanted his clothes to, “make people smile.” Finally, he managed to obtain
considerable publicity for his creative accomplishments by having such renowned photographers as Pierre et Gilies, Horst P. Horst and Oliviero Toscani widely distribute pic-
tures they had taken of his designs. The show in the museum was organized by the distinguished curator of design, Dilys Blum. It demonstrates Kelly’s highly creative,
personal vision and his marvelous talent for projecting a wonderful touch of whimsy and joy. His dresses made the fashion scene at a time when they were able
to draw considerable attention to what he had to offer. Thanks to his special appeal, he could compete successfully with the originality and style of such accepted figures as Sonia Rykiel
and Yves SaintLaurent. Ultimately, the lasting value of Kelly’s oeuvre rests on the debt it acknowledges to a true African-American origin, ethnically and esthetically.

Facelift brings The Franklin into the 21st Century By DIANE M. FISKE For 21st Century Media
The Benjamin Franklin Hotel, at Eighth and Chestnut streets, was renovated and restored last year by the architectural firm of Stephen Potts Architecture and is now The Franklin, a much more 21st Century building. Originally opened in 1925, The Franklin, is now a modern office building on 9th Street and apartment house on Chestnut. The lobby was reconfigured in two parts so people entering the office building on one side cannot cross to the residence on other. The building has a history of being trendy and innovative. Even its site, the location of the former Continental Hotel of the 18th century, was a path mark of its day when hotels were unusual. The Continental was demolished to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel, designed by the famed Horace Trumbauer, the architect of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in the 1920s. This year, the firm that helped change the hotel into a modern residence/office building won a prize for being a young, emerging architecture firm and using modern techniques to recreate a historic building. Petra Stanev, one of the principals of the Potts firm, gave a talk to the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects last moth and credited technology for the fact that, architects can recreate priceless embellishments to historic buildings at reasonable costs, an impossible feat until recently. This savings may be responsible for many buildings being saved that could not have been renovated it the past before technology made these savings possible. The local chapter of the
The Franklin ceiling is shown in this photo. Photo courtesy of Stephen Potts Architecture. American Institute of Architects has been awarding a Philadelphia Emerging Architects Award, which the organization calls The PEA award, for the past three years to young architects or their firms that show promising results in the use of new technology. Stanev, a principal in a firm with her husband, Stephen Potts, discussed winning the annual prize. for young technically savvy architecture firms
at an annual meeting. She explained by recreating priceless artifacts and embellishments to historic buildings, at an affordable cost, technically knowledgably firms can affect everyone’s environment. Among other accomplishments, the Potts firm designed the renovation of the lobby of the 89 year old Benjamin Franklin Hotel, restoring decorations and embellishments to the lobby that would have
cost thousands of dollars and countless hours more if they had been accomplished in the traditional way. Stanev said in her address to the AIA that “it is a wonderful time to be an architect.� In the past, architects were artists and engineers who produced much of their work by hand, she said. Now architects are benefiting from technology. Each decade since the mid 20th cen-
tury has found an increasing number of architects turning to technical help from computers and 3-D printers to countless other electronic devices that save time and money and produce dramatic results at a lower cost over the former labor intensive work that probably led to some nostalgia. This technology can help architects reproduce valuable Please see FRANKLIN on 24

assets from the past at a fraction of the price. She cited as an example in the renovation of the historic Franklin building, the work included the production of computer generated, rapid prototype door embellishments. This may sound technical, but what it means is that extremely complicated ceramic 19th century rosettes on the doors of the Franklin Building could be reproduced for the renovated lobby. The original rosettes had deteriorated over the years and probably could
not be refabricated again by sculptors and designers without spending a fortune. Stanev said the rosettes were copied from a rendering, and then reproduced in a three dimensional printer. This was then sent to a foundry where a mold was made in wax and then cut into a plastic form. “It would have cost a lot more to make it from metal,” she said. It is fitting that innovative techniques were used to restore the Franklin building, which
used to be a high-end hotel, according to Stanev. “In the 1920s, it was one of the first Philadelphia buildings to offer guests air conditioning.” She said, “It is a phenomenal time to be an architect in the figurative and literal sense of the word.” We are encountering phenomena that are allowing us, as professionals, to improve on many levels the product we generate and to have a wider influence in the world.” Diane M.
