A Look at Christopher John Rogers’ Best Celebrity Style Moments

Congratulations are in order for Christopher John Rogers, who received the coveted American Womenswear Designer of the Year at the 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards on Wednesday.
He beat out Catherine Holstein for Khaite, Gabriela Hearst, Marc Jacobs and Peter Do in the category.
Though the designer has only released a handful of collections since he debuted his label in 2016, Rogers has made serious strides in the fashion world, with his eye-catching patterns and brightly hued designs seen on the likes of Michelle Obama, Rihanna, Zendaya, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Vice President Kamala Harris.
This year, the designer started off strong when Harris stepped out in a now-iconic purple coat and dress from his label for the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden in January. His streak of dressing household celebrity names continued since, with his pieces seen on Miley Cyrus, Tracee Ellis Ross, Regina King and Michaela Coel, among others.
His clothing even had a dedicated segment during an episode of the much-anticipated “Gossip Girl” reboot on HBO Max when Julien Calloway, played by Jordan Alexander, concludes his fashion show.
Rogers, who was born in Baton Rouge, La., and is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, was the 2019 winner of

Pharrell Williams Expands Humanrace Into Body Care

Pharrell Williams is expanding his Humanrace skin care brand to a new category.
The Grammy-winning musician’s brand announced on Friday that it is entering the body care category with two body bars, the Reenergizing Whiteclay Body Bar and the Energy Channeling Charcoal Body Bar, which are both made from a soap-free formulation.
“We’ve spent the last year educating people how to take care of their skin and adhere to a routine, but we believe that the routine doesn’t stop with your face,” Williams said in a statement. “You need to care for your body, too. Your body deserves its own time.”
Both products are made with ingredients like snow mushroom extract, kaolin clay and rice powder and follow the brand’s ethos of minimal, yet effective products. The Reenergizing Whiteclay Body Bar is said to cleanse and hydrate the skin and the Energy Channeling Charcoal Body Bar is meant to smooth and refine the skin. The body bars launch alongside the Humanrace Ceramic Body Bar Dish, which is handcrafted in Arita, Japan. Like the brand’s other products, the body bars are packaged in eco-friendly materials.

A Closer Look at the Fendi x Skims Collection: See the Photos

The Fendi x Skims collaboration is finally here.
The collection is dropping on Nov. 9 at 6 a.m. PST on the dedicated fendiskims.com e-commerce site and will also be available at select Fendi flagships and retailers worldwide. The line features form-fitting silhouettes and bonded leather dresses in neutral tones, pink and black. The products range from $100 to $4,200.
The codesigned capsule was mostly inspired by a 1979 Fendi collection designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld, which highlighted twisted tube tops, pop colors and tight sashes.
“The idea for the collaboration came about when my team and I were sitting around a table at the studio in Rome,” Kim Jones, artistic director of Fendi womens collection, said in a statement. “Suddenly, all the women went silent and started looking at their phones. I didn’t know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new Skims collection. It was then that I thought: let’s do something together.”
“Both Fendi and Skims have a cultural power very different from each other, but equally as strong,” Kim Kardashian West, founder of Skims, added. “We share a desire to push boundaries, think differently and challenge convention which is why we found so much

Supreme Teases a Collaboration with Tiffany & Co.

In its latest dalliance with luxury – and its first with a jeweler – Supreme has hinted at an upcoming collaboration with Tiffany & Co.
The New York-based skate brand and the iconic jeweler simultaneously teased the project on their Instagram channels, posting a video of a young man wearing a white T-shirt and a pearl necklace. The camera zooms past the spider tattoo on his arm to focus on the necklace, which has a silver tag dangling as a pendant.
Both brands put no text along with the post, only an emoji of chain links.

Jewelry is a surprising category for Supreme, which frequently teams up with brands from activewear or outdoors categories such as Nike, The North Face, Vans, Champion, Timberland, Lacoste, Levi’s and Stone Island.
Its 2017 collaboration with Louis Vuitton on leather goods and apparel helped ignite a trend for luxury streetwear, and Supreme followed up in 2018 with a range of luggage with Rimowa, another brand owned by French conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
