His collections have really refined themselves with the last few seasons. I'd like to see him take over Oscar de la Renta, to be honest.

Agree with @LadyJunon I actually enjoyed this presentation. The knitwear and multicoloured pieces are the standouts for me.

I would totally remove 3/4 looks from that but this is good.
He should stop showing his clothes in a warehouse if they can’t have proper light that can elevate the clothes.

I love look 3, i love the second to last look, I also love the Mongolian fur and the knitwear.

He insist in presenting his big gowns. They are good on their own but maybe have a better place at a showroom or on the RC.

There’s something very fresh about his daywear, his cocktail dress and particularly his knitwear that the traditional ball gowns kinda bring the energy down.

I would love for him to work with Carlyne. She can totally exploit the fun side of his work.

 

[brandon J pierre]

He's getting better with time! great colors

reminds me of galliano and mcqueen

He's a talentless hack.

This is in the same boat as Harris Reed.

I don't see Carlyne being so enthusiastic.

def Galliano and McQueen lite. I dont think CJR neccesarily understands clothes well enough because some of it just looks unfinished rather than a flourish. Particularly the flaps on the gowns. Just looks unfinished.


I gained respect for him when he and donnatella were inspired by Fendi Furs for the Lagerfeld tribute and his look was far superior to hers.

its not amazing but he is trying to elevate his craft.

I can´t get small designers making resort and pre-fall collections...are the clothes from this guy so sought after, as to launch 4 collections per year??

 

[Salvatore]

Looks good actually ! And that photo of him walking out during the finale looks super sassy.

He doesn't. Since the pandemic, he switched to the pre-collection schedule, so instead of doing Spring/Fall, he does Resort/Pre-Fall.

I believe that it has something to do with larger stores preferring pre-collections over main collections, since they stay in stores at full-price for longer.

I did not know that, thank you! So it´s just pure marketing strategy...

 

[Cocteau Stone]

It's fine. Very American, very palatable in an inoffensive way but still a bit reductive. His silhouettes are getting less clunky and more refined which I appreciate.

Hate this lighting though. All the photos look so grainy and offers zero flattery to the models and clothes.

I'd like to see him take over Oscar de la Renta, to be honest.

That could work, but if it were to happen I would hope Rogers would use ODLR as a way to hone their skills as opposed to just doing the same kind of shtick they're known for (i.e. Harris Reed at Ricci). Although ODLR isn't in the best state right now regarding what it's trying to do with itself, so dunno if it would lead to hits or just more confusion with what the label represents in this day and age.

At least Rogers shows a willingness to develop their work for the better compared to their other contemporaries.

Also I'm sorry but there is NOTHING Galliano about this.

It's not even Christian Siriano.

 

[susseinmcswanny]

The only Galliano I see is like a very superficial idea of his ideas that he took from Vivienne Westwood.

 

[susseinmcswanny]

I think I literally blacked out bc I don't remember posting that. But it's still true lol

Yes-- omitting his signature multistripes and the Target-patio prints would do wonders for the offering: They really cheapen his whole collection. Whether or not he’s in demand, there’s a solid effort from him from a very short time; and his MET gown was solid. And not a tacky logo in sight, to boot.

He’s come a long with from his debut, both in design and more importantly, the tailoring and construction. His is still too Todd Oldham/Patrick Kelly/Izaac Mizrahi fluff for my preference, but it’s quintessential sunny, frothy classic American easygoing funwear, and there’s a lot of commercial appeal in his version. If he is referencing Galliano and Westwood, he’s made it his own-- and to his credit, with a very non-fussy all-Americanness— and Black Americana, to his sensibility. If he continues to improve with the tailoring/dressmaking, and invest in expending his fabric selection beyond shiny shiny shiny, he will evolve.

Not great by a country mile, but much better than most of his American contemporaries. And thank goodness no stunt casting either, that’s become so typically cringe of American brands. (...At least he’s not still marinating in discount fabric Barbiewear nor strippergear, or still ripping off Demna, like some…)
