- <p> If I haven't made it big by the time I'm 19, Christian
- Francis Roth used to say, I'll be a fashion fade-out. Instead,
- the Manhattan designer is a knockout. Only 21, Roth has headed
- his own firm for three years. His pricey combination of
- impeccable tailoring and playful designs--oversize appliques
- of M&Ms or eggs sunny-side up--now adorn the chic and
- stylish. Next month he'll present 30 new outfits, evoking
- images of the schoolroom, in his "first real show." Before
- stitching out on his own, the easygoing Roth had worked as an
- apprentice to other designers; now he's "going through a
- kindergarten phase. I try to think like a child, the way a
- child just puts things together spontaneously." For the $1,700
- white suit that is trimmed with a black "scribble," he drew
- from experience.
