Christopher
John Rogers
While his contemporaries are
mining the aughts for fashion
cues, Bushwick, Brooklyn–
based Christopher John Rogers,
25, prefers the va-va-voom
of the 1980s with its dramatic
proportions and oversize
flounces and pleats. And though
he finds inspiration in Abstract
Expressionism, the Baton
Rouge–born designer describes
his Fashion Fund experience
as surreal: “I feel like it isn’t
actually happening!” he says.
