Oh Simone

Simone Rocha is pretty much considered to be one of Dublin's darlings. Daughter to Ireland's own John Rocha, she recently completed her studies for a BA in Fashion Design at Ireland's prestigious National College of Art and Design and has gone on to pursue a MA in London, at Central St. Martins.

One may overlook her as riding on her father's coat-tails, but this certainly isn't the case. Simone's designs are all her own, possessing a certain air and fluidity that has caught everyone's attention. I have known of Simone for quite some time now, but only became acquainted with her work in recent times; I'm in love with all of it!

Simone has been noted to favour contradictions; think masculine tailoring, softened by feminine layers and luxurious details blended with hard-wearing materials; both recipes that appeal to many a stylish taste. All one can do though is wait with avid patience, as Simone Rocha is yet to be found in stores.

Pictures taken from her website. Check it out, if not only to pour over her other designs, but to take a peep at her envy inducing Curriculum Vitae, which notes the likes of Marc Jacobs, Nylon Magazine and Chinese Vogue, to name but a few.
