LFW: Pepto Bismol Pink And Proud – Simone Rocha

Irish designer's most accomplished collection yet

Her

‘Respect Your Elders’ Simone Rocha’s latest collection might have  was dedicated to her grandmothers – her late Irish grandmother Margaret Gleeson and her Chinese grandmother Cecelia Rocha – but there was nothing old fashioned about it.

Featuring pretty, prim dresses and skirt suits, the colours and textures kept this collection looking bang-up-to-date.

Shades of ‘Pepto Bismol’ pink, shiny black PVC and futuristic looking flowery lace meant everything fresh and modern and we can see more than one starlet coveting these creations come next September.

Plus, leopard print featured heavily but in the most unexpected way and we have to admit, we’re a sucker for a bit of leopard in our lives.

And we’re not the only one’s spreading the Simone love.

ElleUK.com are reporting that the Buying Director of Bloomingdales Stephanie Solomon was heard gushing back stage “You totally blew me away. It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen talent like this… We’ll make a star out of you.”

Looks like Simone’s career is about to go stellar.
