An exciting account of the international adventures of fashion
model Pat Cleveland-one of the first black supermodels during the
wild sixties and seventies. "Taking her reader through fifty years
of fashion from the intersection of the Civil Rights Movement, the
disco era's decadence, and the grandeur of Hollywood's late 70s
renaissance, Cleveland provides a glimpse at some of design's most
important moments-and her own personal history." -Vogue "Pat
Cleveland is to fashion what Billie Holiday is to the blues; a muse
for all ages." -Essence Chronicling of the glamorous life and
adventures of Pat Cleveland-one of the first black supermodels-this
compelling memoir evokes the bohemian lifestyle and creative
zeitgeist of 1970s New York City and features some of today's most
prominent names in fashion, art, and entertainment as they were
just gaining their creative footage. New York in the sixties and
seventies was glamorous and gritty at the same time, a place where
people like Warhol, Avedon, and Halston as well as their muses came
to pursue their wildest ambitions, and when the well began to run
dry they darted off to Paris. Though born on the very fringes of
this world, Patricia Cleveland, through a combination of luck,
incandescent beauty, and enviable style, soon found herself in the
center of all that was creative, bohemian, and elegant. A "walking
girl," a runway fashion model whose inimitable style still turns
heads on the runways of New York, Paris, Milan, and Tokyo,
Cleveland was in high demand. Ranging from the streets of New York
to the jet-set beaches of Mexico, from the designer drawing rooms
of Paris to the offices of Vogue, here is Cleveland's
larger-than-life story. One minute she's in a Harlem tenement
making her own clothes and dreaming of something bigger, the next
she's about to walk Halston's show alongside fellow model Anjelica
Huston. One minute she's partying with Mick Jagger and Jack
Nicholson, the next she's sharing the dance floor next to a man
with stark white hair, an artist the world would later know as
Warhol. In New York, she struggles to secure her first cover of a
major magazine. In Paris, she's the toast of the town. And through
the whirlwind of it all, she is forever in pursuit of love, truth,
and beauty in this "riveting, celeb-drenched account of her
astonishing life in fashion" (Simon Doonan, author of The Asylum).
