A rare offering from Patrick Kelly, dating to the late 1980s. The Mississippi-born, self-proclaimed Francophile remains one of the most underrated designers of his decade, and his work — remembered for its playful, sexy energy — is genuinely collectible today. Made in France from a light beige linen with a white contrasting zigzag top-stitch, this piece plays a quiet trick: nearly rustic, but never rough, the linen is sleek and finely finished, setting up an elegant tension between a sophisticated silhouette and a textile that reads slightly raw. Fully lined in a cream satin acetate-and-bemberg blend, the swing coat closes with no additional hardware — the shape does the work — and is finished with rounded shoulder pads and slit pockets set into either side. The hem runs longer at the back and tapers toward the front.
