The Fall/Winter 2020 collections wrapped up in New York this week with a star-studded show from Marc Jacobs that brought out everyone from Nicki Minaj, who sat front-row, to Miley Cyrus, who took the runway by storm. While a handful of fashion’s biggest names were absent from the schedule, the focus was shifted to some emerging designers like 2019’s CFDA /Vogue Fashion Fund winner, Christopher John Rodgers, whose runway show exuded the promise and passion of an exciting new voice in the industry. From Jacobs’ statement as one of the city’s most revered showman designers to a slew of others who made a splash, I rounded up 5 shows that stood out during the week-long fashion festivities.
Making his runway debut since winning the mentorship and cash prize at last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, the 26 year-old designer set the tone for a bugenoning career that’s already seen him dressing the likes of Rihanna, Michelle Obama and Tracee Ellis Ross, to name just a few. Expanding on his bold signatures with a new twist, Rogers showed a beautiful array of his dramatic, structural silhouettes in irridescent fabrics, creating an exciting runway experience on par with the designer’s rising star.
The New York-based designer known for her handmade beaded handbags is no stranger to putting on fashion week presentations that defy convention. In an uplifting musical stages at PUBLIC Arts, the brand’s theatrical presentation of the Fall/Winter 2020 collection was noteworthy, to say the least. Featuring a cast that included Hunter Abrams, Benito Skinner, Lauren Servideo, and Richard Perez, Aisha Kerensa, Jessica Joffe, and Larry Owens, the cast sang and performed 4 original scores written by director MUR, that captured the trials and tribulations of being a creative in New York City.
