Roger was first introduced to the art of styling by Eric L. Archibald and worked alongside June Ambrose, where he was swathing the likes of Lil’ Kim in Gucci and Chanel, Foxy in furs and Dior, and Ghostface in custom fur robes and his signature jewel-encrusted boxing championship belts. Roger’s creative vision was realized and his talent was featured in television and film, advertising print campaigns, music videos and commercials. He became the style star behind print ads for Nike, Phat Farm, Phat Farm Kids, Sean John, XV and Argyle Culture by Russell Simmons, Footlocker Stores and FUBU. Roger dressed the likes of P.
