"For man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. Impotent rebels, unable to keep up their own rebellion. Praying to false idols that could bring them fortune but won’t. So they beg for bread in an America that is worse off than it was for their parents. Their freedom is used unwisely. Their freedom has led them into straits-and have them encounter such marvels and insoluble mysteries that some of them will destroy themselves, others will destroy each other and the rest will crawl fawning for grace from a false prophet."
Colorful button holes bring a playful touch to matching blazers and trousers, while bright T-shirts, football-inspired track jackets, and denim draw from different parts of Rogers’ upbringing. Across the collection, familiar wardrobe staples are reworked through unexpected details and a considered approach to construction and color.
With Leaving Marigot, Rogers turns family history and cultural memory into a design language of his own, offering a collection that is as much about where he comes from as what he chooses to make of it.
