Simone Rocha releases a new book exploring themes of femininity

Off the back of her SS20 show which took over an abandoned theatre inside Alexandra Palace, Simone Rocha is set to release her fifth self-published photography book with images taken by Harley Weir. 

This time around the Irish designer reflects on ideas of intimacy, privacy, security, and femininity; concepts which informed her AW19 collection.  

Presenting trench coats with organza layering, exposed bralets, and skirts and dresses embossed with floral prints, the show was a study of female eroticism, looking into the tension of women being an object of desire, and wanting to own it and direct it. 

Alongside artworks by Louise Bourgeois, the book will feature models who walked in the AW19 show, such as Dazed cover star Chloë Sevigny and Lily Cole.

Styled by Dazed’s own Robbie Spencer, Chloë Sevigny’s latest Dazed’s cover also makes an appearance.

Launched on 5th October, the book will be available at Dover Street Market London and Simone Rocha stores worldwide.
