At a Christopher John Rogers party, he will cry if he wants to.
One of the magics of Christopher John Rogers is that the brand makes “it” items out of things you never wanted to wear. Oversized rainbow striped sweater. A voluminous skirt in the shape of a strawberry. A jumpsuit with balloon sleeves and legs that makes you feel like a flying squirrel. The designer’s understanding and approach to clothing feels more emotional and intuitive than trend-driven. You get the sense that every new collection emerges from a kaleidoscopic world built for itself, as opposed to following a greedy fashion algorithm.
And most of all, Christopher John Rogers delights in surprises: you think it’s one thing, but show that the brand is two steps ahead of your expectations. It wasn’t, or at least wasn’t, the shapely, red carpet-ready gowns the brand is known for, like when she staged a runway show outside of her semi-annual schedule to announce 10. However — rather, it’s a new, colorful proposition for American sportswear. Collection 11, unveiled in a lookbook photographed by César Buitrago on Friday, subverts the brand’s profile and shows what it can do.
