Simone Rocha S/S 2020 London

Lovely, lovely collection and perfectly styled, too. For so long she was part of a new wave of young British talent. But I think she's moved past that. She's part of the establishment now. Well done and well earned.

I will say, I feel like she has maybe two or three seasons left before her consistency begins to work against her. She's honed her aesthetic and a technical language and cultivated a customer, but I hope she doesn't forget the importance of a surprise every once in a while.
 
I am always in love with Simone's clothing, I wish I were a woman, a rich one so I could buy some of those dresses.
 
I just don’t understand the appeal here.

It’s so Comme circa 2005 and it’s all smoke and mirrors...lots of ruffles and lace to achieve the effect. Redundant.
 
I haven't tired of her style at all, everyone's doing polyester fanny packs and logo-ed puffers and she remains untouched by all that.

I really liked those wild curtain dresses and the nonchalant layering of sheer over printed fabrics, feels like a little girl dressed her doll with the clothes in the wrong order. It's in the spirit of CdG F/W 96 or S/S 98 but the clothes themselves do not feel that similar, they have a very european sensitivity, they are far too ornamental and delicate. She was glowing during her bow, you can just feel how much she loves this.
 
Such a beautiful and romantic collection. What I adore the most about Simone's work is that she really commits to her work. She designs with a precise focus and passion to learn more. She is able to expand her vocabulary while still writing the same story. Yet, each paragraph continue to excites and feels refreshing. Especially when you count in hundred of brands doing the same thing in the sea of uneventful designs. It is very difficult to achieve.(Look at Gucci and how tiring it is. Now they have to use marketing to push their designs. Nothing excites anymore.) Kudos to her.
