Welcome to the first (of many) Icons Only: Q&A series. Come, join me as we get to know the everyday icons who inspire me on a daily basis.
The series’s first guest is none other than the true international woman of mystery, Patti - no last name, just Patti, for privacy purposes. For those of you who don’t know, Patti goes by the name @pattipinkcake on Instagram. She’s a fashionista, an enigma, a lady of leisure and a true icon of the streets of Sydney. Who is she? No one knows - but boy do we want to find out!
When Patti’s not uploading outfit checks on her Instagram Reels, you’ll usually catch her winning big at the races, admiring Australia’s unique flora and fauna in Centennial Park or long lunching with the girls at Double Bay’s 18 Footers.
To me, what really stands Patti Pink Cake apart from her peers is her IDGAF attitude. Pair this with a Hermès scarf, Balenciaga bag and a glass of your finest bubbly, Patti Pink Cake is filling my chiropractor's waiting room with all the heads she's turning.
Our girl Patti has kindly agreed to sit down with me for this exclusive interview. Below I asked her the tough questions that have been plaguing everyone’s mind since her new found rise to stardom.
