"I started my store when I was 24 years old and it has lead me onto all the wonderful professional roads I have taken. My purpose was to begin my own life/career and to answer to no one but myself, to be independent. After 50 successful years of being able to do just that, I decided it was time to close this chapter and make more room for all the branches that have sprung directly from that tree; continuing my film and television work, styling, designing, and pursuing brand new projects that have been offered to me that I have not had time before to develop.”
In 1966, Patricia opened her first store in the West Village and by 1971 moved to what became her best-known location, 10 East 8th street, where it was for over 30 years. Many decades and incarnations later, she bought her current store on the Bowery in New York City.
“I had entertained offers to sell the space that houses my store on the Bowery for several years but I felt that now was the right time. I feel extremely proud of what I have been able to accomplish in these 50 years and am excited and inspired by what’s to come.”
The Patricia Field store will close in the spring of 2016.
