Simone Rocha: Bows, Pearls and Lace With a Dark Edge
Simone Rocha builds romance with a little darkness at the edges, using bows, pearls, lace and athletic references to keep prettiness from becoming predictable. Born in Dublin, Rocha launched her label after graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2010 and quickly made London Fashion Week her stage. The collection moves between dresses, sculptural separates and accessories with the same instinct for contrast.
