Exhibition—From Couture to da’ Streets: The Fashions of Patrick Kelly + Cross Colours

From Couture to da’ Streets celebrates Patrick Kelly and TJ Walker, two men who used their adversities to channel their creativity into something greater than themselves.

The exhibition features clothing, sketches, and related ephemera on display September 4, 2021–January 8, 2022. The MAX is hosting several events related to the exhibit.—check the Calendar of Events for event details and updates.
