Staged at London’s Old Bailey, Simone Rocha’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection unraveled like a gothic ballet—moody, meticulous, and emotionally rich. Inspired by Pina Bausch and Michael Clark, Rocha traded theatrical volume for intimacy, balancing fragility with defiance. Black tulle tutus gave way to sheer pinks and blazing crimson silks, while carnations bloomed unexpectedly from bustiers and bags. Denim—her first—anchored the ethereal in grit, adorned with crystal flora. With swan-shaped bags and ruffled menswear, Rocha turned the stage into a dreamscape of vulnerability and strength.
