BIO
Patrick Holmes made his first collection debut during the Spring of 2003 in Atlanta Georgia, under the label Just Patreq, and the reception was so overwhelming that the entire collection sold out within days. Following that, Patrick received orders from several high-end boutiques, earning him recognition in a WWD article, and he was noted as an, ‘up-and-coming’ designer by Lucky magazine.
However, right at the rise of his success the economy took a turn, which greatly affected startups, prompting Patrick to make the difficult decision to dissolve the business. Shortly after, in 2005, Patrick moved to New York City and enrolled in a Fashion Design/Art program at the Fashion Institute of Technology, but left F.I.T. to focus on reviving his label.
Patrick spent the next three years re-defining his label, including changing the name from ‘Just Patreq’ to Par Le Patreq. He updated his signature pieces and sold them to private individuals on a made-to-order basis, and used the opportunity to create a customer profile. He gradually expanded his product line to include tops, bottoms, jumpers, outerwear, and handbags. Then in 2012 he re-launched the label during New York fashion week.
With a proven business model, a defined signature style, a customer base, and a collection of top selling items, Patrick set out to turn Par Le Patreq into a national brand.
