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”.
