From Patricia Altschul, breakout star of Bravo's hit reality show Southern Charm, comes a lifestyle guide as refreshing and fun as a gin martini. "Patricia on #SouthernCharm, like lookin' in the damn mirror. Cheers queen." --Lady Gaga Fan-favorite Bravolebrity Patricia Altschul presents fans her coveted opus on etiquette and the glamorous Southern lifestyle. With the poise of a true grande dame, Patricia provides advice on every situation, from hosting a memorable cocktail party, to handling a drunken boor at the dinner table, to delivering the perfectly phrased insult--like her now iconic "shameless strumpet." The Art of Southern Charm takes readers inside the world of Charleston's most enchanting matriarch, who (with Michael the Butler) offers a blueblood's blueprint for curating and celebrating life at its best. "Some viewers might watch the Bravo reality show Southern Charm to witness the escapades of Charleston's young elite, but at T&C we watch just to see Patricia Altschul in action...She's the show's resident expert in decorum, manners, and entertaining...." --Emily Selter, Town & Country
Author Biography
Patricia Altschul has been featured in publications including Vogue, Town & Country, Architectural Digest, People; and she is the surprise break-out star of the Bravo hit reality series, Southern Charm. 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.
Patricia has earned her status as a preeminent tastemaker. She received her Master's 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 served on the board of the New York Historical Society and other institutions. 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 Manhattan's 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.
