Christian Francis Roth Archives, Part III

March 12, 2008 by WendyB

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 Roth, dress designer, is NOT Christian Roth the sunglass dude. The second is that I’m irrationally annoyed with CFR because I realized he’s just over a year younger than I am. When he was 21, Anna Wintour was singing his praises; at the time, I was 22 and my big achievement to date was being able to buy myself a beer. Whatevs! I’m a late bloomer. Like, Grandma Moses late.

Enjoy the fashion!

It was a real coup to get an Absolut ad.

I like the Lone Star Quilt skirt but I’m not crazy about croquet.

Anything with candy on it is good.

The Mannequin dress should have been in the Surrealist design show at the V&A.

The Mermaid Dress. Now the Chicken of the Sea jingle is stuck in my head.

The Tulip and Schoolhouse dresses sold for 1800 pounds! Each, silly.

The Unlaced Dress

One more link for you: Doesn’t this excursion sound like fun?

    Late bloomer? Maybe. Extra high achiever? Mais oui!

    Yes, that excursion sounds like fun! I want the yellow tulip dress, and the whole outfit. And damn your eyes, now all I can hear is “what’s the best tuna? Chicken of the Sea!” Groan.
