As Christopher John Rogers reveals his first furniture collaboration with Orior at New York Fashion Week, the celebrated American fashion designer takes Wallpaper* to his Brooklyn home to talk inspiration, indulgences and letting go. Right, a look from Rogers’ Resort 2023 collection.The hallmark of Christopher John Rogers? Pure joy.
Unafraid of standing out, Rogers is making a new rulebook, too; one that includes eschewing the traditional fashion calendar. In June 2022, he unveiled his Resort 2023 collection with an ‘off-schedule’ show in Brooklyn that showed an evolving degree of craftsmanship in his designs, comprising bias-cut printed silk and delicately beaded dresses, alongside sharp technical knitwear and his now-signature corseted gowns.
He was also the recipient of the 2019 Fashion Fund Prize from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and American, later winning American Womenswear Designer of the Year at the CFDA awards in 2021. He was also a finalist for the 2021 LVMH Prize andLiving in New York, Rogers takes inspiration from all around him, seeing beauty and potential in the everyday – an approach he has brought to his first-ever furniture collection with design house Orior.
I’m definitely more intuitive, but I like to plan things out as well in order to keep myself on track. I can have procrastinating tendencies, so I need to have my calendar very well organised and certain boundaries set in order for me to be my most creative and productive. I used to be much less collaborative in my working style but have learned to be more open in my practice, as I have many different things to do now in my day-to-day and I can’t do everything myself.
Rogers finds and photographs inspiration in the colours and textures of the everyday, like this stained cupcake wrapper.Even happier and fulfilled in my purpose than I am at this moment.Double Stuff Oreos – I just finished a pack this weekend.Historically, I haven’t been very good at it – I just took my first vacation in over three years at Palm Heights in Grand Cayman last week, and it was amazing.
