Patrick Grant (designer)
Patrick Grant (born 1 May 1972) is a British fashion designer and creative director of bespoke tailors Norton & Sons of Savile Row. As a media figure he is best known as a judge on the television series, ''The Great British Sewing Bee''.
After taking over Norton in 2005, Grant has been credited with rejuvenating the once ailing business. He relaunched E. Tautz & Sons as a ready to wear label in 2009, for which he was awarded the Menswear Designer award at the British Fashion Awards in 2010.
==Early life==
Grant was born in Edinburgh, and raised in the city's Morningside district.〔(Patrick Grant: smooth operator | Herald Scotland )〕 His Musselburgh-born father James managed the pop band Marmalade before becoming an accountant.〔 His mother Susan worked for the University of Edinburgh. He attended the Edinburgh Academy before joining Barnard Castle School as a boarding pupil. Grant explained that "My parents thought it would be better for me to be away from home. They have good friends who live not far from Barnard Castle and their two sons were there. So they knew the school and said it was good for rugby and I was mad on rugby."〔 Whilst at Barnard Castle he represented Scottish rugby union at U18 and U19 level, although his rugby career was cut short by a shoulder injury.〔 Grant lists his early fashion influences as Barbour, Burberry, Hunter, Lyle & Scott and Pringle.〔
Grant completed a degree in material sciences at the University of Leeds in 1994. He chose an engineering degree because of "a fascination with how things are made". His course included a year spent at the University of Orleans. After graduating, he moved to the United States where he worked as a ski instructor〔 as a counsellor at a summer camp in Santa Cruz, as a nanny, a landscape gardener and a model agent.〔(Close up: Patrick Grant, owner of Norton & Sons and creative director of E Tautz | The Drapers Interview | Drapers )〕 He returned to Britain in 1995 to take up a career in marketing, first at cable-makers BICC and Corning, before moving to optical components manufacturer Bookham Technology in 2000. From 2004, Grant studied for a MBA degree, funded by Bookham, at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, where he was a member of New College.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20130914072942/https://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/page.aspx?pid=2801〕 His thesis, completed in October 2005, focused on the regeneration of luxury fashion brands such as Burberry, and was titled "Is Burberry's formula for brand revitalisation replicable?".〔
