Season 2, Episode 4: Patrick McDonald

Patrick McDonald the Dandy of New York on A Fashion Moment Podcast with Kirsten Holtz Naim

Patrick Mcdonald, also notoriously known as The Dandy of New York, is an American fashion icon who inspires us with his impeccable style. From the bold ensembles, sophisticated tailoring, and always featuring a signature hat, Patrick’s style is unlike any other, and one that is bound to inspire. Patrick’s life is as fascinating as his incomparable fashion. I had the opportunity to chat with Patrick about his early inspirations, building a fashion career (New York City in the 1970s), along with some jaw-dropping fashion moments that he experienced throughout his life. An undeniable tastemaker and a Bill Cunningham favorite, Patrick McDonald will always be THE dandy we all know and love. Check out his fascinating story.
