And accessories make it that much cooler — the appearance of white dirty knee-length combat boots that stride down the catwalk pretense that this collection is ready-to-wear. The model donned in those boots shine through in structured collared ankle-length dress holds a shining silver gun as a thin metal chain draped across the decolletage of the garment. Along with tinted red and black shades, ovoid-shaped bags, and more complete the collection in its entirety. Watch the show below.
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.
