Speaking about the opening of her first stand-alone store in London, Simone revealed that she is due to give birth in November.
Next Saturday, Simone will show her Spring/Summer 2016 collection at London Fashion Week which coincides with the launch of her Mayfair shop.

It’s clear that Simone is thrilled about having somewhere to house her designs, telling the publication: “This is a bricks-and-mortar of my identity and my inspirations and my research, and if anything it makes me feel more creative – whereas after a show you feel totally depleted.
“It just gives the whole collection a sense of place, and a real home”.
