Simone Rocha showing at LFW
London Fashion Week is just around the corner and one of the hottest tickets in town are the shows from (Topshop sponsored) Fashion East. Fashion East helped launch the careers of Gareth Pugh, Richard Nicoll, Jonathan Saunders and Marios Schwab and certainly knows how to pick the winners. It is watched closely by the fashion editors, industry leaders and buyers and this year Irish Simone Rocha is one of the chosen designers to showcase.
Dublin born Simone, daughter of Designer John Rocha, did a four year degree at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and completed her masters at Central Saint Martins in London last February. Simone has a modern and strongly sophisticated approach to woman’s wear and an eclectic eye for accessories. Her Dad’s studio in Dublin is where she develops her collections and it certainly helps to have her designs on sale in his shop on London’s Dover Street.
I for one am wishing her lots of Irish luck but looking at the images of her designs, her talent alone should insure success.
