Christian Francis Roth Comes Back

September 12, 2008 by WendyB

My friend Christian Francis Roth held the show for his new line, Francis, at noon today. All the big department store buyers were there, taking copious notes. I took one or two runway pictures and decided they were coming out terribly, so I opted to just enjoy the show. Sorry, kids! I’ll pick up some photos for you from the wire services and Christian’s photographer.

After the show.
I’m wearing the “swear rings” I designed for the show.
Oddly, I was wearing that Ossie Clark dress just about one year ago.

    Wow – I have a CFR jacket that I picked up on a trip to New York back in early 1997 – is it vintage yet? Is it worth any money?

    Nobody knows about him in Australia – I will have to email you a photo!
