Designer Bio
Christopher John Rogers is an American fashion designer celebrated for his bold use of color and dramatic silhouettes. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he developed an early passion for the arts, drawing inspiration from anime, the works of Paul Gauguin, and the monochromatic outfits worn by his grandmother and other members of the Baptist church his family attended.
Rogers attended the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), graduating in 2016. After moving to Brooklyn, New York, he launched his eponymous label in 2016, debuting his first collection in fall 2018 at age 24. His designs quickly garnered attention, leading to high-profile clients such as Cardi B, who wore a jacket from Rogers' graduation collection at the 2017 BET Awards.
In 2019, Rogers received the top prize at the 16th CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, and in 2020, he was awarded the first American Emerging Designer of the Year award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). His work has been featured in prominent fashion publications and worn by notable figures, solidifying his status as a leading voice in contemporary American fashion.
