I was 337 lbs at 22, and could never wear the on trend clothes. Took 8 years to lose 170 lbs and I celebrate daily with my style.
We would like to thank you for supporting Cherish Patterson in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
I would say in my midwestern home town I am a little bit bold and eclectic than the average suburban mom. I find joy in dressing with bold color, prints and layers of whimsical ruffles and fabric.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Attending an outdoor music festival in the fall wearing the most iconic bohemian outfit and feeling like I was channeling Penny Lane from Allost Famous.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would buy yarn and crochet hooks and rent a space to create a free monthly crochet club where I could teach others how to create wearables.
