At London Fashion Week, the designer brought a collection inspired by memories of adolescence and stereotypes related to the age of youth.

In <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/london">London</a>'s Goldsmiths' Hall, <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/simonerocha">Simone Rocha</a> presented her men's and women's Fall/Winter 2025 show. The designer's press kit contains only a few pieces of information, including a significant phrase that reads, "Distilling the past for the present." This is the Irish designer's first objective for the collection. Thinking back to her foggy school days, the 38-year-old sampled a series of characters to transform them into her own Rocha version. Preppy boys paraded with American polo shirts enriched with ruffles down the <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/london-fashion-week">London Fashion Week</a> runway. Looks inspired by different subcultures, biker teenagers, prom queens with <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/silk">silk</a> dresses and bows, and girls with a <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/punk">punk</a> soul, all created with the unmistakable authorship of Rocha. Military-style trench coats in the collection are cinched at the waist with belts of sparkling chains, rugby polo shirts are softened by cascades of ruffles, <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/fur">furs</a> end in fringes, while pink tulle dresses are combined with harness belts. The usual penchant for details is present as ever in the autumnal assortment.
Intertwining the past and the present, transforming memories and cultural references into a powerful aesthetic made of contrasts between strength and fragility, romantic detail, and rebellious accents. To evoke Aesop's fable The Tortoise and the Hare, models on the catwalk wore stuffed hares and pearl turtles, a symbol of perseverance and humility in reaching every goal without underestimating others. On the catwalk were <a href="https://lofficielusa.org/tags/alexa-chung">Alexa Chung</a>, Fiona Shaw, and Minha Kim.&nbsp;
