Simone Rocha

Simone Rocha launched her eponymous label in 2010 after graduating from The National College of Art and Design in Dublin and Central Saint Martins in London. Her collections are characterised by voluminous silhouettes that subvert the idea of romantic, feminine spirit, leading to her being named the Harper's Bazaar Designer of the Year in 2016 and British Womenswear Designer of the Year at the 2016 British Fashion Awards. Drawing inspiration from art, nature, history and her Irish heritage, she creates pieces that range from statement-making taffeta dresses to directional tailoring and delicate pearl jewellery.
