Chatting With Sherri

Chatting With Sherri welcomes Patricia Hartmann a 90’s Supermodel who is now the creator of Runway Rogue!
The legendary Karl Lagerfeld who then featured Patricia in his Chanel shows after prompting her to have renowned hairdresser Yannick D’Ys cut her hair short for the iconic ‘Twiggy’ look. Karl also photographed her for his Chanel look book, and Patricia became somewhat of a muse for him at that time. Patricia iconic catwalk strut was coveted by the world’s top designers and landed her on the Runways for Dior, Versace, Valentino, YSL, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta and many more
Patricia took a very hands on approach, and spent countless hours with a highly acclaimed cosmetic chemist to create luxurious and unique lip color formulas with plans to set a new standard, and make her mark yet again in the world of beauty. In 2016 Patricia launched her now highly successful brand Runway Rogue with a carefully crafted collection of matte and satin lipsticks, rich hydrating glosses and creamy gel liners. In September 2017 Runway Rogue launched Pearl Glam, their now bestselling shimmer matte liquid lipstick, which has quickly attracted the attention of the press and the beauty industry. Her brand’s Motto? Life is your Runway, so strut!
