Ako Castuera and Rob Sato
PATRICK PHEGLEY DESIGNS
women’s clothing in downtown Los Angeles, his studio an oasis of quiet creativity in the heart of Skid Row. Working alone as he actualizes his vision of women’s couture from drawing the first sketch to stitching the final seam, he's had to learn every skill required to conjure a finished design from his imagination. You can see from his well-used fingertips that his tools aren't always friendly to work with, and his intensity of focus shows an unwavering commitment to achieve each vision, however many hours and days of his life it might consume.
