Simone Rocha presents a modern femininity
in her AW14 collection. Like all
seasons, this collection was inspired by historical references and presents an
Edwardian feel throughout. Rocha has continuously highlighted different aspect
of the female body within this collection; emphasis on shoulders, elbows and
hips underlines that particular influence in such a raw manner, that it becomes
signature to Rocha.
The
cut of this collection is typical to Rocha – minimalist but so intricate and
pretty. A-line shapes presented within dresses and skirts mixed with cut away
detailing and feminine highlights. Jackets were waist length with cropped
sleeves, whilst coats had a-lines and pea shapes.
This collection presents quite a diverse
colour palette, exploring dark tones in addition to metallic colours, nudes and
beautiful python prints. A sense of sweet femininity and innocence were first
presented in the collection, swiftly followed by quite a seductive yet reserved
feel with the transparent fabrics paired with solid high waist knickers.
Of course this collection would not be
Simone’s if there were no embellishment! The entire collection was subtly
frosted with pearls and beads, all of which highlighted the female body via the
hips, waist, shoulders and neck. This beautiful detailing was complimented with
beaded jewellery around both the neck and the wrist. All looks were
accessorized with matching over sized clutch and shoes and were finished off
with a back-combed French plait.
This Edwardian inspired collection
definitely provides for its younger and older market, striking the right
balance of salty and sweet, innocence and impurity, sophistication and
simplicity. Simone Rocha autumn/winter 2014, is an undisputed favourite this
season.
