A firm favourite of Saoirse Ronan, Irish designer Simone Rocha’s show at London’s Guildhall was sheer drama.
The Dubliner nailed it working her magic with floral prints, tulle and tapestry fabric.
Texture on a larger scale is something that is a big trend for AW15 with Simone using tumbling goat hair, luxe beading as well as frilled edges in her show.
Ronan and Storm
