Hanging Out With Christian Francis Roth

Christian Francis Roth Archives, Part III
Welcome to the end of National Roth Posting Month. It didn’t feel like a month, did it? It felt more like three days. That’s because we were having so much fun! Before I present the rest of my Christian Francis Roth fashion photos, I’d like to make two comments. The first is that Christian Francis…

Earlier this month, Mizrahi…

Oldham’s been doing all kinds of things for years, ranging from costume design to floral design to home furnishings design. But whenever I see his name, I get nostalgic for his supermodel-filled runway shows in the ’90s. I feel the same nostalgia…
