Pat McDonagh:
The Public Eye’s Latest Love Affair

When asked to select one word to describe herself for her portrait in the Luminato exhibit, Toronto’s Mille Femmes, Canada’s long-standing fashion designer, Pat McDonagh, came up with the word ‘Patastrophe.’ Ironic for a woman who has not missed a beat throughout the past forty years showcasing a collection to think of herself as anything less than incredible.

After much success and longevity in any business, most would likely begin to slow their pace, but this past year, alone, has kept Pat on her toes and more alive than ever within the fashion community and the public eye. Aside from keeping up with being in popular demand, she is continuously working on future projects that, individually for most, would be the equivalent of a full-time commitment.
