Rogers is a young Black designer, from Baton Rouge, and lives in New York City. Hudson is a Black designer from South Carolina.

Rogers has sold made-to-order designs from his Brooklyn studio since 2016, according to Forbes.

Hudson is determined to prove that Southern designers have what it takes to succeed in the fashion industry, according to his website.

Hudson hates over-embellishments and believes that his strongest skill is constructing structured, but feminine pieces.
