अलाया फर्नीचरवाला को उनकी पहली फिल्म के लिए अच्छा रिस्पॉन्स मिला। वैसे अलाया के फैशन सेंस की भी काफी तारीफ होती है। प्रमोशनल इवेंट से लेकर अन्य जगहों पर वह स्टाइलिश लुक में ही दिखाई देती हैं। इस बार भी उनका ग्लैमरस लुक देखने को मिला है।
I met Rogers before New York Fashion Week to celebrate being chosen as one of IMG’s “New Faces of Fashion,” in which he participated in a BMW panel moderated by GQ’s deputy fashion director Nikki Ogunnaike. With his fall ‘20 runway show just days away, it was a testament to the Baton Rouge-born SCAD graduate’s ability to juggle a hundred things at once. Of course, you’ll learn to be graceful under fire when your boss only gives you a week off to put on your own NYFW presentation, when most designers spend half the year planning the event. (More on that later…)
Like most designers, Rogers discovered that he was interested in fashion design as a kid. “Growing up in Louisiana, I didn’t always feel empowered to be myself. So, escaping or somehow squeezing myself into a space where I could release all the things that I wanted to release was a dream of mine,” he said.

Rogers took on his first big design project when he was in elementary school, drawing costumes for his favorite comic book and anime characters that began when his friend asked why Superman always wore the same thing. From that moment, Rogers began relating fashionable clothing to “having superpowers.” CJR collections have been described as over-the-top, yet wearable, and full of joie de vivre. In other words, he’s designing clothing that makes women feel mighty, heroic, and capable of anything.
After graduating, Rogers moved to NYC and got a job straight away. “I was working at DVF, but I knew that I had a really strong point of view, and I wanted people to see my look in person.” So, he went for the big leagues, and applied for an official spot on the CFDA’s calendar, without an established brand.
No one, Rogers included, thought that the brand would get a spot on the exclusive schedule. So when they did, in fact, make the cut, it was a race to the finish line to get things ready for fashion week. “All of us basically took a week off of work,” said Rogers. “Luckily, my boss at the time was very understanding and supportive, even though he didn’t have to be.”
His premiere collection, shown in a Chinatown gallery, was an immediate hit. Overnight, Christopher John Rogers was the must-see designer for Fashion Week attendees, with photos of his fantastical pieces appearing on every influencer and editor’s Instagram feeds. “Fashion isn’t always fun, which is fine because no job is always fun, but I got into fashion because of the fantasy.” Despite the success, Rogers wasn’t yet selling any of his designs, nor turning a profit. To manufacture samples alone would’ve cost as much as his entire year’s salary at DVF, so instead, he sewed them all by hand.
Making financial matters worse, Rogers was laid off from DVF following the presentation of his first collection. But he decided to take it as an opportunity to fully dedicate his time and energy to his namesake brand, present his sophomore collection to rave reviews, and win the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award. With the $400,000 prize, he was able to actually manufacture his spring ‘20 collection that initially won him the award. “I’m able to execute the ideas that are in my head. I don’t have to make concessions, I don’t have to settle.”

All this culminated in tonight’s show, his most impressive collection to date, drawing a massive crowd (Spring Studios even brought out two extra rows of seating to accommodate the larger attendance). Old-Hollywood-meets-Space-Age suits and gowns, including a dazzling floor-length highlighter-orange number, were paired with oversized earrings to match, and perfectly executed pin curls. The vibrant orange hue continued throughout the collection, showing up in bigger, more voluminous silhouettes as the show went on. The most impressive piece of the night, though, a cap-sleeved gown the width of a small car, was designed in the designer’s signature color: an iridescent Kermit-green. Rogers, himself, emerged from backstage, twirling and glowing from the inside out. He danced to the beat of a standing ovation.
But don’t let that grand exit fool you. Christopher John Rogers has humble plans for what’s next. “The next big goal for the brand is to continue to exist!”

Fashion Week has once again arrived in New York City, marking the first of four stops on its tour around the world (we’ll see you next week, London). But, this NYFW is already shaping up to be uncharted territory.
For starters, the once invite-only event is now opening up to the public, with tickets to Proenza Schouler, Christian Siriano, Monse, and others costing as much as $1,750 per seat. There’s also the news that some of NYC’s most celebrated designers are skipping the event altogether. Telfar chose to show earlier in Paris during Men’s Fashion Week, Tom Ford debuted his fall collection in Los Angeles, Jeremy Scott will show in July during next season’s haute couture calendar, and Maryam Nassir Zadeh chose to forego showing her fall season in a show format.
But as long as there will be any shows to watch, there will be street style.
Following a particularly dismal January, the main thing on everyone’s mind is staying warm, dry, and out of the dumps, dressing in a way that might will spring to come quicker. Easter-like puff-sleeved dresses were winterized with the use of pastel turtlenecks, fuzzy bucket hats covered fresh blow-outs, and layers of Heattech allowed leather Bermuda shorts and lightweight knits to feel weather appropriate.
The real hero piece of the week, though, was outerwear... for obvious reasons.
“I'm doing my best to use sustainability as my biggest style inspiration these days," says Refinery29's Editor-In-Chief and Co-Founder Christene Barberich. "I’m almost exclusively wearing vintage or used down coats, especially given what we know now about the sourcing of down. Layering in interesting ways is always appealing to me, too, especially when it’s cold out. I have a VERY old, super lightweight Uniqlo puffer and a vintage denim jacket that I like to layer under lighter-weight coats since the climate these days is unfortunately predictably unpredictable. Lighter long coats from designers like Rachel Comey, Rodebjer, and other more conscientious designers are also a go-to.”
“I have one quilted leather jacket from a brand called AWAKE that I'm really excited to wear, and one vintage smocked leather jacket that I got in L.A.,” says former Refinery29 fashion editor and current street style maven Alyssa Coscarelli. “Vintage bombers, faux furs, and leathers are fantastic, too.”
“I've spent the last few months embracing leather trenches, one from Veda and another vintage one that I got in Paris. I'm excited to keep that trend going this week,” says The Zoe Report’s Senior Fashion Editor Aemilia Madden. “But my North Face puffer keeps me warm no matter how crazy the weather gets.”

हॉलिवुड स्टार किम कार्दशियन ने सितंबर 2019 में शेपवेअर ब्रैंड लॉन्च किया था। इसे महिलाओं का शानदार रिस्पॉन्स मिला। फेमस टीवी पर्सनैलिटी से बिजनस में उतरने वाली किम ने एक इंटरव्यू में बताया कि उन्हें अपने शेपवेअर लाइन पसंद है लेकिन इस बात का पछतावा है कि उन्होंने उनमें पी होल डिजाइन नहीं किया। दरअसल, न्यू यॉर्क टाइम्स से इंटरव्यू के दौरान किम से सवाल किया गया था कि क्या उन्हें अपने इस नए बिजनस से जुड़ी किसी बात को लेकर रिग्रेट है, इस बार कार्दशियन ने जवाब दिया खि शेपवेअर में पी होल नहीं बनाने को वह अपनी सबसे बड़ी भूल मानती हैं। वैसे आपको बता दें कि इससे पहले किम जिम फैलन के शो पर भी इस बारे में बात कर चुकी हैं। उन्होंने उस दौरान भी कहा था कि उनके ब्रैंड के शेपवेअर में पी-होल नहीं होने को वह कमी मानती हैं। हालांकि, उस दौरान उन्होंने इसे 'गलती' नहीं माना था और कहा था कि 'वैसे पी-होल हो भी और उसे यूज भी किया जाए तो वह किसी काम का नहीं होता है क्योंकि आधे समय तो वह काम ही नहीं करता।' क्या होता है कपड़ों में पी-होल का मतलबपी-होल फैब्रिक में प्राइवेट पार्ट के साइड पनाया गया कट होता है जिससे कपड़े पहने हुए ही टॉयलट पर बैठने पर यूरिन पास की जा सकती है। हालांकि, जिन स्किनवेअर में यह कट है भी उसे लेकर जनरल रिव्यू नेगेटिव ही दिखाई देते हैं। ज्यादातर महिलाएं इसे लेकर यह शिकायत करती दिखीं कि पी-होल का इस्तेमाल करने पर उनके बॉडीवेअर नीचे से गीला हो गया। वहीं कुछ ने कट के अच्छे से स्ट्रेच न होने की बात कही।
फैशन के मामले में करीना कपूर हमेशा आगे रहती हैं, लेकिन इस बार एयरपोर्ट पर उनका जो लुक देखने को मिला वह दिखने में भले ही अच्छा था पर स्टाइल के मामले में इस बार बाजी शाहरुख खान की पत्नी गौरी खान ने जीत ली।
मलाइका अरोड़ा जब भी किसी इवेंट या पार्टी में जाती हैं तो उनका लुक देख कोई भी उन पर से नजरें नहीं हटा पाता है। अब इस सिलेब्रिटी ने लेटेस्ट फोटोशूट करवाया है जिसमें वह पर्पल और सिल्वर ड्रेस पहनी दिख रही हैं। इन लुक्स में वह हमेशा की तरह गॉरजस नजर आ रही हैं, जिसे देख फैन्स उन पर लट्टू हो रहे हैं।
