Patrick Carrow

Ninety-nine percent of the fabrics I use are discontinued swatches from mills around the world.  My design signature is a harmonious blending of color, print, and texture.  It's also important to me that the proportion of print size stays true to the silhouette of my work.  I do not have a specific inspirational reference within my craft; it's the fabrics that inspire me as to how and where to begin.  The weight, color, and print of the fabric speak to me and command their ideal arrangements.  To enhance and complete the overall aesthetic, I often embellish my work with unusual and sometimes dramatic hardware.
