New York Fashion Week kicked off with an exuberant, yet mature return of Christopher John Rogers to the runway. He’s got a brilliant colorist sensibility – and knows how to serve beautiful, eye-catching eveningwear. Fitted to the upper thighs and blossoming below them into a full skirt, the striped dress that opened the show mixed chartreuse, burgundy, and coral. The unlikeliness of the combination made it all the more striking, and he returned to that formula for other looks as the show progressed. Stripes, his signature, played a starring role – on his knits and silk taffeta party dresses, and on trenches stitched with rows of different grosgrain ribbons at their hems. Each look from this runway made sense – and can be easily imagined on the streets and events, not only in New York.
