Patric Chauvez was born in the British Crown colony of Belize and remembers, in his early teens, being an avid reader of Connoisseur Magazine, where he developed his love of beautiful things. From the beginning, he loved to read about Jacqueline de Ribes and the fashion of Ungaro and Yves St. Laurent. Patric came to Chicago in 1984 and attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied fashion and art history. His first job out of art school was dressing mannequins in the couture department for Neiman Marcus.
In the early 1990s, Patric began to style fashion shows for Christian Lacroix and Christian Dior ready-to-wear and haute couture under the direction of Gianfranco Ferré. His career as a stylist assistant began upon his return to Chicago, and the rest is pure history.

With his years of experience in the industry, Patric has developed a reputation for knowledgeable & true expert of all things fashion.
