FALL 2025 READY-TO-WEAR
It was nearly two years ago that Christopher John Rogers was last on the runway.
But the economic headwinds buffeting fashion hit him hard, as they have other emerging designers.
Backstage, Rogers betrayed not a hint of nerves.
Im actually the most relaxed Ive ever been before a show, he said.
Im saying less, maybe, but its the right things.
Its just 38 looks, which is the smallest show weve done.
One project that kept him busy during his time off the runway was a J.Crew collaboration.
In the past, Rogerss exuberance got the better of him from time to time.
This show was more disciplined but never boring.
Still, Rogers doesnt have a reputation for a big event dress for nothing.
Now that was a fashion show!
a neighboring editor exclaimed.
