Being observant has always been an innate gift for Patricia. She always sees things in full zoom and tends to examine with scrutiny. "I enjoy watching everything around me and learning new things," says the designer. With this kind of perspective, it's no surprise that her designs are "fueled by [her] travels and desire to create inimitable and timeless pieces."

Patricia marries her worldly travels with a sharp eye for details. In any Patricia Santos creation, you'll see intricacy and utmost femininity, befitting the sultry shapes and silhouettes of every woman. She also knows that there is more to just looking feminine and living a grandiose life that makes a Patricia Santos bride. Being comfortable in one's skin and proudly embracing who you are is a big part of it, too.

"I always see the women who wear my dresses to be sophisticated. [They] know how to have fun and be adventurous. Someone who is empowered by their desires and who invests in oneself and is not afraid to explore," she says.
