Patricia Gray's Taste of Life

Patricia Gray Interior Designer
 Patricia Gray, award-winning interior designer and global aesthete
When Patricia Gray designed a residence for John Travolta (“JT,” she calls him), “he was lovely to work for, and wanted a place to escape to.” Patricia Gray, a regular interior designer to the stars, Feng Shui practitioner and a Vancouver native, was nominated “2014 Designer of the Year,” has numerous “First Place Northwest Design Awards,” and her firm was named one of the “Top 3 Design Firms in Canada.”
Gray’s mother was a bespoke dressmaker in Vancouver in the 1960’s. “I rushed home from school, excited to see the Jackie-O-style dresses and to help drape and sew.” Years later, while Gray was studying at the Parsons School of Design in Paris, one of her instructors, a curator at Versailles, used her ring of skeleton keys, some nine-inches-long, to unlock doors few had entered. After seeing the magnificent interiors they led to, Gray’s fate as an interior designer was sealed.

  7. I love the Stella McCartney longsleeve with dual zips. The zips really accent such a simple design, giving it personality, while keeping the look minimal. Very cool.

    1. Hi Natalie
      Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it. The necklace I am wearing I got in Milan a few years ago. I love it so much that I tend to maybe wear it too much...but as you can see I love beautiful things.
