Patrick’s house is amazing, not least for the fact that you are greeted at the door by two chubby, squat bulldogs who wrestle and groom each other in typical love/hate sibling manner. The next thing I noticed was how handsome Patrick is, in particular what beautiful eyes and smile he has; lovely teeth. I know, I know, I’m not exactly his type, but I’m allowed to appreciate beauty when I see it, he’s friendly and warm too which is charming.
The next observation is that he appears to colour co-ordinate his outfits with his house, but then he is a designer. Everything is tastefully curated in muted hues and opulent gold baroque, yet still feels homely. It’s posh and arty but not soulless, each artefact has a story behind it which I really enjoyed hearing during the shoot.
