THE STYLE SPOT.
“What’s the Gossip?”
Welcome to The Style Spot — a door into my world; a wonderland of creative inspiration, behind-the-scenes moments and the occasional rambling from me, Costume Designer, Stylist and Creative Consultant, Patrick Jack.
Expect style edits, costume inspiration, pop culture, exhibitions, books, travel, brilliant brands, fashion reviews, works in progress and the odd creative rabbit hole that catches my attention along the way.
Think of it as a peek behind the curtain.
Stay in the Spot.
