Pat Paul

Personality

By admin · August 5, 2023

Pat Paul defined
the modern look for
the Bahamian male
in the mid-1970s.
Starting from his
days as a Model
and a salesman
in Bonneville
Bones to when he
opened his own
signature Men’s
store Pat dressed
to impress and
led the fashion
scene.
Before Pat Paul Modern
Men Boutique opened, Bahamian men were
sandwiched between European men’s wear at certain Bay
Street locations or the local tailor was frequented to make
a suit for a wedding, a funeral or any special event and
little attention or style or craft was put into that exercise.
With the advent of Pat Paul, Men became more fashion
conscious not just about their dress, but their health, their
diet, their body, their hair, nails and cosmetology.
The Pat Paul fashion magic also lifted the standard of
local tailors who now had to step up to the plate and study
at home and abroad to stitch for a more knowledgeable
consumer.
