Patrick Church ❤️’s Amanda Lepore
by Adriano Batista
Patrick Church is back with a new drop! This time, his collection is inspired by New York nightlife icon Amanda Lepore.
“Discovering Amanda Lepore as a gay teenager, I was instantly captivated by her glamour and beauty. She was so important to me, I painted her for my high school art exam. Today I launch a collaboration with her. It was such an honor and definitely the highlight of my career to be able to see this project come to life. The collection is extremely limited and special, with textiles painted with portraits inspired by some of Amanda’s favorite photos by the wonderful Josef Jasso. I was so nervous to be photographed with her, but she’s such an angel and I will cherish these images forever.” – said Patrick
