Olivier Rogers looks to his French-Caribbean roots and New York upbringing for his Spring/Summer 2027 collection, titled “Leaving Marigot.” Named after Marigot, Saint Martin, where Rogers was born and spent part of his childhood, the collection explores the designer’s personal connection to both the Caribbean and Brooklyn.

Across 27 looks, Rogers moves beyond the casualwear that helped establish his name and presents a more developed cut-and-sew wardrobe. Rather than abandoning the sportswear aesthetic associated with his brand, the designer brings it together with tailoring, prep, school-uniform references and personal memories from his childhood.

The collection draws heavily from Rogers’ family and early experiences with clothing. Memories of his mother’s insistence on properly worn school uniforms appear through buttoned blousons, long-sleeve polos and a palette that includes sky blue and navy. Tailoring also plays an important role, reflecting the suits Rogers wore growing up, while a vest references clothing associated with attending church.

His father’s influence is equally significant. An old photograph of Rogers’ father as a teenager inspired one of the collection’s standout pieces: a red, white and blue tracksuit that connects his father’s personal style with Rogers’ Caribbean heritage and Saint Martin’s relationship with France. The campaign further develops the reference by recreating the original photograph with Rogers’ father’s guitar as part of the imagery.

New York enters the collection through a different visual language. Raw denim, in particular, becomes a reference to Brooklyn and Flatbush, providing a contrast to the more nostalgic Saint Martin-inspired elements. Throughout the collection, these two worlds continually overlap, with athletic tops, quarter-zips and tracksuits appearing alongside tailored pieces.

Rogers also plays with traditional ideas of dressing. Tracksuits are styled with Derby shoes, while blazers are reworked with hoods, giving familiar menswear pieces a more relaxed and contemporary attitude. Even the collection’s footwear contains a subtle reference to Saint Martin, with a bright blue footbed inspired by the island’s clear blue water.

The overall aesthetic can be summed up as preppy, simple and chic, but the collection carries a much deeper personal narrative. “Leaving Marigot” reflects Rogers’ journey from Saint Martin to New York and the way those environments shaped his understanding of style.

Rather than treating the collection as a complete departure from the brand’s earlier identity, Rogers expands its vocabulary. The casual foundation remains, but it is joined by tailoring, refined separates and pieces designed to become part of a long-term wardrobe.

At its core, “Leaving Marigot” is about bringing different parts of Rogers’ identity into the same wardrobe. Saint Martin and Brooklyn, family memories and contemporary New York style, sportswear and tailoring all coexist within the Spring/Summer 2027 collection.

With “Leaving Marigot,” Olivier Rogers demonstrates how personal history can become a foundation for modern design while pushing his brand into a more expansive fashion conversation.
