A/18
Simone Rocha
A Magazine Curated By’s 18th issue is curated by the fashion designer Simone Rocha. Simone’s sensitive, intellectual approach to fashion is marked by an intimate, unfiltered vision of contemporary femininity with all its twists and turns, a fact that imbues her collections with a unique (yet inclusive) point of view. Simone has called upon an international cast of friends, family, and creative collaborators whose regard stretches above and beyond her chosen subject matter to paint a broad picture of our postmodern human condition celebrating nostalgia whilst remaining firmly rooted in the present.
“Ireland to me is home, and home is where the heart is. Hong Kong is family far away but always by my side.”
