Christopher John Rogers’ Spring Summer 2020 runway show was a historical fashion moment that I, along with the rest of the industry will probably never forget.

First off, the colors were bold and vibrant, with shades of green, yellow, pink, blue, orange, and red that were visually arresting. The patterns were bright and playful with exploded plaids, colored zebra prints, 80s style florals, and black and white checkered prints. And the silhouettes were incredibly diverse.
