Simone Rocha

Simone Rocha developed her love for fashion at her father's studio between the ages of 13 and 18. After studying at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and at Central Saint Martins in London, Simone Rocha showed her graduate collection at the Tate Modern gallery and in London Fashion Week for the first time in 2010. Rocha's designs have an alluring, unsettling romance that is typified by a strong blend of femininity that balances the boundary between the coquettish and the melancholic. Simone Rocha is well known for her fairytale-like style, which includes voluminous silhouettes decorated with beaded embellishments, delicate materials inspired by art, nature and her Irish heritage.
