Dewey Nicks and the one and only Pat Cleveland!

Dewey just shot a great campaign for the new Brookfield Place in lower Manhattan. I will post some more of the final images later but for this Friday weekend send off I am featuring this image of one of the best models of all time and one of the first black supermodels. Pat was an important model in the 1970s, and was a muse to the designers Halston ( one of Halston’s Halstonettes, and regularly opened his fashion shows) and Yves Saint Laurent as well as Stephen Burrows.

If you have not seen Versailles73 a wonderful film about the 1973 fashion show held in France which pitted the top 5 American designers against the 5 leading French designers of the time you must as the Americans ruled and their secret weapon was fresh, innovative designs and the tour de force, a collective of stunning black models, Pat being one who sashayed down the runway and into the hearts of the high-profile audience.

Check out the trailer here and details on how to see them film here
