As the holiday season approaches, J.Crew has teamed up with New York designer Christopher John Rogers to create a festive and glamorous collection. The 48-piece collaboration features metallic separates, brushed knits with Technicolor stripes, and tailored outerwear, all embodying Rogers’s playful and colorful aesthetic. J.Crew’s director of womenswear, Olympia Gayot, describes the collection as “high-octane excitement,” blending Rogers’s bold style with J.Crew’s modern heritage aesthetic. The partnership between the two brands aims to offer a variety of shapes and weights to make everyone feel like themselves, whether it’s through tailored pieces or forgiving silhouettes.
Rogers’s favorite pieces from the collection include the bright knits and bodycon dresses, while Gayot is a fan of the black satin cargo pants that offer a modern take on a classic tuxedo. The collection features standout pieces like a sequin-paneled gown, vinyl and tweed coats, and a lustrous gold lamé barn jacket, perfect for the holiday season’s glitziest festivities. These statement pieces can easily transition into spring when paired with more casual items like sweaters and loafers.
For Rogers, this collaboration with J.Crew is a full-circle moment, as he previously worked at the brand before his rise to fame. The goal of the collection is to imbue every garment with a sense of dynamism and eclecticism, offering tools for self-expression to a diverse range of people. Whether it’s a metallic barn jacket or a sequin dress, the pieces are designed to be celebrated and witnessed by an audience, bringing a touch of glamour and sparkle to the holiday season.
The J.Crew x Christopher John Rogers collection is now available online and in stores, offering a range of pieces from cashmere skirts to tailored blazers to pleated dresses. With a focus on inclusivity and self-expression, the collaboration brings together J.Crew’s modern heritage aesthetic with Rogers’s playful and colorful style, creating a collection that is sure to make a statement this holiday season.
