Walking with the Muses: A Memoir

Walking with the Muses: A Memoir

An exciting account of the international adventures of fashion model Pat Clevelandâ€”one of the first black supermodels during the wild sixties and seventies.

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 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 â€œwalking girl,â€ 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 retailers of Paris to the offices of Diana Vreeland, here is Clevelandâ€™s larger-than-life story. One minute she's in a Harlem tenement making her own clothes and dreaming of something bigger, the next sheâ€™s about to walk Halstonâ€™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. One moment sheâ€™s idolizing the silver screen sensation Warren Beatty, years later, sheâ€™s deciding whether to resist his considerable amorous charms. 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.

A page-turning memoir of a life well lived, Walking with the Muses is a book you won't soon forget.
