In the 90's Patricia's talent led her to fashion styling for video and stage. She worked as an assistant costume designer for Rosemary Ponzo on the play "Elison and Eden". The video "You Got the Right", starring Johanna Deneroff, was done for the United Nations human rights conference that aired internationally on MTV. While shopping for accessories at various trade shows, she was introduced to "Designs by Gail", a glove line that ended up being used quite frequently on many photo shoots. Because of her enthusiasm, she was asked to rep the line. When Gail decided to relocate, Patricia was left with many clients but no new glove designs. She decided to give it a whirl and found it a very satisfying creative process. A very important influence for Patricia's success is a man named Leo Shore, whom has been in the glove business dating back to WWII. She spent hours visiting with him and his vintage glove collection and listening to his many stories. He thought her the nuts and bolts of the manufacturing business and she is thankful for all his continuing support.
In May of 2010 she inherited 1,000's of pairs of dead stock vintage gloves in a array of colors and styles that she now sells to stores, stylist, along with fashionable ladies, teens and girls.
