Returning to the Divinely Feminine

It's no secret that the designer Simone Rocha has mastered the art of modern femininity and has thankfully made her collections available to us on sites such as Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman Online. The designer who hails from Dublin, Ireland and made her London Fashion Week debut in 2010, has since opened up stores in London, New York and Beijing. Rocha is known for her incorporation of natural elements such as flowers and ornate plants in her designs as well as her inspirations from family, nature and art. There’s something familiar about Rocha’s work, it feels as if we’ve seen these floral prints before perhaps in a great-aunts wall paper or our grandmother's clip on earrings but there’s a modern twist. Wearing Rocha’s designs make you feel like a woman, even in a traditional sense of the word, but we only feel empowered and confident in her divinely feminine creations. It could be the dramatic sleeve moments or the beaded shopping bag purses, but we feel that even in the Rocha oversized jackets or duster coats that we feel soft and ladylike. We want to share some of our favorite Simone Rocha pieces that you yourself can find online.

The Simone Rocha Tulle Overlay Sculpted Top ​features a tulle overlay with a form fitting silhouette and voluminous sleeves to match. This top is perfect for those lovers of novels such as Pride and Prejudice or period piece romance films. This peplum style top may have the flair of the overly dramatic but honey it is versatile. Dress this top down with medium wash denim and matching white pointed toe boots or go all the way and accentuate it’s frill with Rocha’s ​High-Rise Belted Crop Cargo Trousers and ​Crystal Drop Earrings.​ The duality of this top is what makes it a favorite and also a timeless piece we love to have in our wardrobe.

Simone Rocha is known for her fun and full of texture purses and handbags. From faux fur totes to floral tapestry handbags, Rocha’s purse designs always make a statement and can elevate the most basic and understated of outfits. That’s why Rocha’s ​Small Beaded Shopper Bag​, a reimagined fisherman’s net inspired bag is one of our favorites to date. For flashy purses such as this one, we take a high-low approach. For example, athleisure is so popular these days, especially in these last few months that we’re always looking for ways to change it up and make it unique. Take this basic set from TopShop​, a cozy set of black joggers and a crewneck to match and pair it with your favorite pair of trainers and this Simone Rocha beaded bag and voila! You got an instant upgrade.
