Feature Christopher John Rogers FW2020 Ft. Amika Global Artistic Director Naeemah LaFond Inspired by topiary art, Global Artistic Director Naeemah LaFond, created these stunning looks for the bold colors and classic shilouettes of the Chris- topher John Rogers FW2020 Collection. We love the way the hair works perfectly with the styles to create a cohesive, and artistic look that emphesizes the collection without overpowering it. While many of these styles are not perfect for day to day, we appreciate the ways in which they could be adapted for more casual wear. Lead Stylist Naeemah LaFond, amika’s Global Artistic Director Inspiration The Christopher John Rogers FW2020 looks were inspired by topiary art—using hair to create de- fined geometric and fanciful shapes.
