A moment of Joy… Another day another dress another reason to smile.

Last year, (2025) two things happened.

The first was inspired by one of my clients and longtime family friend, (Arlene) Dotty Hamilton . I decided to recreate The Walking Dress in a printed stripe, but I hadn’t quite figured out the design yet.

The second was that I started looking into doing a pop-up on Martha’s Vineyard this summer. I began researching and reaching out to the hosts of the annual fashion event held there. Unfortunately, I wasn’t getting a response, so I planned to visit the island during the event in hopes of joining them in 2027 instead.

I turned my attention back to developing the printed Walking Dress for this summer in a limited run.

Shortly after the sample was completed and I’d photographed it for socials, I received a text from Tori Nichel founder of MAISON BLACK letting me know she was doing a pop-up on Martha’s Vineyard this summer and asking if I’d be interested.

First off, I love Tori. Second, I’ve learned to listen when the Universe speaks in blessings.

So, the obvious answer was yes.

I decided to offer the printed Walking Dress exclusively through the MAISON BLACK pop-up in a limited size run from S through L. I had just enough fabric left to add one XXL to the run.

Last week the pop-up officially opened, and the XXL was the first one out the door.

As of today, the Walking Dress has officially sold out, and I’m already busy producing the restock.

It’s funny how things work out.

The opportunity I thought I was chasing never materialized, but something even better found me instead.

When you pour love, integrity, and intention into your relationships and your work, the Universe has a way of aligning things for your highest good and opening doors you didn’t even know existed.

Pictured above is The Walking Dress, crafted from 100% cotton poplin in the Dotty Stripe Print, named in honor of Dotty Hamilton, Arlene’s Mom and my Grandmother’s lifelong best friend.

Day Two Première Vision - The Global Fashion Sourcing Tradeshows

This time making the rounds with , Co-Founder of TheIndustry.fashion & .

Today was all about planting seeds for what I hope will become long and fruitful partnerships. I met with several manufacturers and suppliers from Turkey, each conversation opening the door to new possibilities for the future of the brand.

Had a blast sipping and sourcing…

07/15/2026

There’s no substitute for a handshake.

You can source fabrics online. You can compare prices by email. You can even approve samples from thousands of miles away.

But you cannot replace standing across from the people who make the things you hope will carry your name.

The best sourcing conversations happen before the first purchase order. They happen while feeling the weight of a fabric, examining the precision of a finish, asking technical questions, challenging assumptions, and exchanging ideas in real time. That’s where craftsmanship reveals itself, and where partnerships begin.

As Patrick Cupid continues to grow, I’m constantly seeking manufacturers, mills, and producers whose standards match my own. One of the most encouraging shifts I’ve noticed is the increasing willingness, capacity, and capability of international manufacturers to collaborate with smaller independent brands. It opens the door to relationships built on quality rather than quantity.

Today, alongside my fellow designer and friend Kristina Dimov , I made several promising connections. Tomorrow, I’ll be back Première Vision - The Global Fashion Sourcing Tradeshows for appointments, including meetings with Turkish manufacturers I’m looking forward to connecting with.

Because good sourcing finds suppliers.

Great sourcing finds collaborators.

After all, the best things in fashion aren’t just made.

They’re met first.

Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Anttoni lopez , aka TONii RED, to creative direct and style a fashion editorial celebrating his upcoming release.

Before developing the visual language of the project, I spent time getting to know Tonii beyond the music. Understanding his journey, ambition, and artistic trajectory made it clear this couldn’t be just another fashion shoot—it needed to tell a story.

One of the things that resonated with me most was his pride in being a Barb, a confidently gay recording artist from the Bronx whose path reflects a true rags-to-riches journey. That became the foundation of the concept.

I wanted the imagery to reflect the many dimensions of who he is—writer, actor, author, performer, and recording artist—allowing each identity to exist as an equal part of the whole. His mixed heritage and unmistakable ginger features added another layer, reinforcing the idea that identity can’t be understood at a glance.

In paying homage to his modest upbringing in the 1980s and his evolution as an artist, I revisited Molly Ringwald’s iconic character in Pretty in Pink as a visual reference for transformation, individuality, and coming of age.

From there, I explored the Barb concept, drawing inspiration from Alan, Barbie’s companion doll introduced in the 1960s, as a symbol of individuality and singularity.

My research expanded to artists like Stromae and Jidenna, the Barbie Loves M·A·C campaign, vintage editorials, hairstyles, color stories, and fashion references until everything distilled into one idea:

Multiplicity.

The complete editorial features 15 distinct looks. What you’re seeing here is only a snippet of the larger narrative, featuring pieces from my own collection.
