Patrick Starrr has kept the momentum going after debuting his brand One/Size in 2020 and making his way into fashion with collaborations with Fashion to Figure in 2021. He recently jetted off to New York City for his first-ever in-person launch event for his new BBB cream with One/Size.
After the launch, Patrick was a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show on CBS. What's special about this product launch and the trip was that Patrick got to take his family with him to New York City. His parents also appeared on the talk show, talking about Patrick as a child and how proud they were of him.
One/Size's new Beauty, Blur, Cream (BBB) is now available online at OneSizeBeauty.com and in stores at Sephora.
