As to where she sees herself in ten years, Patricia wants ti have her studio fully up and running. She also wants to have workshops and classes for design as well. And have a huge following on social media. For Patricia, she believes knowing how to drape, construct, and sew plus knowing your tools and fabric are the most important skills for a successful career in fashion design.
When staying up on trends she doesn't believe in them. " I don't care about them. I don't live by fashion trends. I rather be a trendsetter. You have to follow your own heart." Her favorite are of design is dresses because they are feminine and nonconforming. Dresses to her shows strength.
To her surprise Facebook and her website: pmwaterlilyfashion.com proves to be a great way t market her business. As for her legacy, she states " I was a native who stayed true to her roots and inspires others." Her favorite design is the eagle feather scarf and the red sequin dress.
I did ask about her experience on Project Runway. She loved being on the show. She said that it was like a big family. But it was a lot of hard work. You only have a certain amount money for projects. Best part of being in the show it got Patricia's name and style out there. She didn't m inf the critiques because she knew it was valuable information that the judges were given her. They wanted to see everyone improve and make their brand better.
