Born in Venezuela but was raised in France and Mexico, she relocated to Venezuela after a few years. Parents who worked as teachers in South America, moved her family into a cramped, cramped residence without running water or elevators. To ensure that water was available for the apartment, Patricia often carried heavy buckets on fifteen levels of stairs. She tried to help her family in any way she could despite her engineering studies as well as pursuing a dance education. The opportunity to be a model in Milan and her rise to the top of fashion hinged on a promise to her loved ones. She recalls, "When they asked me to go to Italy I told them"If I can send 30 dollars a month back to Venezuela and it's worth it as it will cover the entire building's water'."
