PURITY The quality or state of being pure (free from harshness or roughness · perfectly clear to the eye):
Christopher John Rogers has described his design philosophy as creating both emotional and transformational fashions, which become tools for self-expression. The pristine color and exaggerated 1950s-era silhouette of this dress convey a sense of delight, exemplifying the expressive nature of his designs. Rogers drew the nostalgic shape and white palette from memories of formal dress in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he was born and raised.
