Christopher John Rogers x Old Navy: High Art Goes To Die

Christopher John Rogers is bringing his high-concept shapes to Old Navy, and I am having a physical reaction. I have spent decades defending the sanctity of a silhouette, only to see it translated into a fabric that feels like it was harvested from a recycled yoga mat. You cannot just put Kimora Lee Simmons in a campaign and expect me to forget that this dress is going to be sitting next to a bin of five-dollar flip-flops. It is not democratization; it is aesthetic dilution for the sake of a quarterly report. This is a costume of fashion for people who think couture is a brand of fruit juice.
