About the Author
Patricia Altschul plays the resident madcap grande dame on "Southern Charm" Bravos hit reality show. Patricia has earned her status as a preeminent tastemaker. She received her Masters Degree from George Washington University, where she lectured on Art History.
She was a highly-successful art advisor who also amassed her own art collection and has been a director or trustee of several nonprofit organizations including the New York Historical Society and Historic Hudson Valley (the Rockefeller Family properties). In 2012 Altschul was given the Woman of the Year award by the Police Athletic League of New York City.
In 2013 she received a Carolopolis Award from the Preservation Society of Charleston for her renovation of the historic Isaac Jenkins Mikell House. "The preservation work completed is an excellent example of a sensitive approach to maintaining the integrity of one of Charlestons finest pre Civil War residences."
In addition to being an academic and a philanthropist, she has done a life-long tour-of-duty at the top of the social ladder in Washington, D.C., Oyster Bay, and on Manhattans storied Fifth Avenue, where she observed--and ultimately dictated--the modern-day rules of civility. Patricia, who really puts the social in social networking, has a glorious brain, the best legs, a killer sense of humor, and expertly curates every aspect of her life.
She has been featured in publications including Vogue, Town & Country, Architectural Digest, People. Wise, cultivated, elegant and funny, Patricia is a consummate hostess and a lifestyle icon whose unique combination of class and sass has endeared her to fans of all ages.
Pat quickly became a fan favorite last year and has even drawn the affection of celebrities like Lady Gaga who claimed 'that looking at Patricia is like looking in a mirror.
