Patricia Velásquez

Creativity goes beyond the photographic, canvas as well as film and other media. It also serves as an engine to philanthropy, charity, or activism. Patricia Velasquez is an award-winning supermodel, actress, and actor. Also, she is a fervent donor. Author activist, author, and a loving mother. She is a strong believer in intuition , and a pioneer in her own direction. "I see my work as an endless staircase," she said. "I did every step up. It was truly amazing to do so, since there was a long-term effect. I simply put my head down, took one step at the pace, and didn't stop." The metaphor directly resembles a formative experience. Born in Venezuela but growing up in France and Mexico and then moved to Venezuela after a handful of years. In South America her parents worked in education. They relocated their family into an apartment block without running water or elevators. Patricia often carried heavy buckets of water for 15 flights of stairs in order to get water. She tried to assist her family as much as she could despite pursuing engineering as well as pursuing a dance education. The opportunity to model was offered to her in Milan, the multi-talented artist's climb to the top of the fashion industry was based on a promise she made to those she loved. She recalls being asked to travel to Italy by the fashion industry. "If I could afford to send thirty dollars per month back to Venezuela, it would be worth it since that would provide all the water in the building." Patricia's triumph was an important moment in fashion as she drew the attention of fashion industry professionals to South America for the first time. Patricia was able to make headlines upon becoming "the first model Karl Lagerfeld ever photographed" and then going on to walk in shows, be a part of editorial spreads and advertisements for front pages of Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Chloe, Cover Girl, and Victoria's Secret among several. Her appearances on Oprah's Supermodel of the World contest as well as Ford Models’ "Supermodel of the World" contest were a hit around the world. She was also featured on the front covers of Marie Claire, Bazaar and Vogue.
