Simone Rocha was the third and final designer to present at Fashion East on Tuesday. Judging by the expressions of the buyers, writers and photographers around me, I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking the best was saved for last.
Simones’ collection was in tans, black, white and a subtle take on the bright reds we’ve seen sprinkled across many collections in London. What I most appreciated was the practicality. Simones’ girls seemed to be the only ones who could get down the runway gracefully! (See cute black Brogues with cheeky cut-out.) Other looks featured wedges worth a double-take. Sling back Brogues were lifted at 90 degrees with a little translucent wedge. The red version looks just like cherry candy!
From the ankles up, we saw bare legs and lots of them. Simone, and the grand majority of designers presenting in London this season, seem to be predicting a temperate winter. There were nicely cut black blazers over just slightly longer mesh button-ups, starched white shirts with elegant high necks, and a lovely red gingham collar on an airy, translucent tan top.
With hair neatly tucked behind ears, and one model carrying a wire crown on her head, I could not help but think of Max’s crown and his wild rumpus. The Mountain Goats provided soundtrack for the parading models, who could have been marching to Where the Wild Things Are. One beige fur mini dress later I was convinced.
A very happy collection, crowd pleaser indeed.
Fashion East is a Top Shop sponsored platform for new designers to showcase their work. I hope to see a solo show from Simone very soon!
