The power of Simone Rocha lies in transforming femininity into a shield. The Irish designer doesn't merely craft "pretty" garments; she sculpts emotions. Her universe intertwines costume history, Victorian allusions, and a touch of raw modernity, forging a captivating tension between fragility and protection.
This season, volume reigns supreme. Layered tulle and crinkled organza sculpt expansive, ethereal silhouettes, grounded by utilitarian details or "chunky" soled footwear. The house's hallmarks are ever-present: pearls embroidered like skin jewels, exaggerated puff sleeves, and plays of transparency that reveal without fully exposing. It is a dreamlike fashion, yet resolutely wearable.
About this selection
Born in Dublin and a graduate of Central Saint Martins in London, Simone Rocha founded her house in 2010 and quickly established herself as one of the most singular designers on the London scene. Her world, both romantic and subversive, explores femininity in all its facets, between softness, strength and a deliberate touch of strangeness.
Simone Rocha's DNA is recognisable in its sculpted volumes, balloon sleeves, lace, beaded embroidery and touches of satin. The codes of the traditional wardrobe, from the kilt to the wool coat, are revisited with a keen eye for detail and unexpected ornaments, pearls, rhinestones and embroidered flowers, that give each piece a precious dimension.
Our Simone Rocha women's selection brings together the black quilted bomber with balloon sleeves, the long double-breasted melange wool coat with fur collar, the grey cashmere cardigan with beaded floral embroidery and the grey pleated tailored kilt skirt with clip. The satin slip dresses, ivory with lace or black with ruffles, the flared sculptural midi skirt and the layered lace and pearl t-shirt illustrate the house's romantic femininity, while the Stacked rhinestone hoop earrings add the finishing touch.
At Actuel B, we offer a selection of Simone Rocha for women in our boutiques in Avignon and Arles as well as on our website, with delivery in France and internationally. Each piece is presented by teams trained in the designer's world, with the personalised advice that defines our approach to multi-brand luxury.
