ABOUT US
TWOmuchSTYLE is about all things Fashion, Art, Beauty and Design.
TWOmuchSTYLE was founded by the Fashion Stylist Patric Chauvez , who was a regular contributor to the Chicago Tribune Sunday Magazine. Patric traveled to the top runway shows from New York to Paris where he reviewed the latest designer collection. He is well studied in Fashion and Art History from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He went abroad to Paris where he became a design assistant for both the House of Christian Dior, under the direction of Gianfranco Ferre and Christian Lacroix Haute Couture. He styled runway shows for Yves Saint Laurent and Emmanuel Ungaro. He returned to Chicago in early 2000 to become the charming stylist that he is today working with top designers, retailers, art directors and photographers that demand his amazing eye for color, fit and detail.
Towards the end of 2023 TWOmuchSTYLE and his lifeong partner Floyd Jones formerly of The Antiques Roadshow launches TMS Studios. For their next journey it's only natural that TWOmuchSTYLE Launches an E-Shop, promoting "The Well Lived Life". Here you will find the best curated vintage fashion, Beautiful Paintings and exquisite objects chosen with an artist eye.
