Parade in the sumptuous interiors of the Lancaster House for Simone Rocha, who is enchanted by the charm of the ocean, reinterpreted through timeless garments

Simone Rocha&#39;s Autumn-Winter 2020/21 fashion show during London Fashion Week is one of those that torment anyone who can guarantee you a seat. This year the conquest of the place required access to a very special place, Lancaster House , a few steps from Buckingham Palace where scenes of films such as The Young Victoria, the King&#39;s Speech and, last but not least, were shot The Crown, the hugely popular Netflix series on the life of Elizabeth II. A perfect setting for the British designer&#39;s show, where among other things you can practice the noble collateral art of looking at how the other guests of the show are dressed. In the specific case, several guests show off Simone Rocha&#39;s total look, thus responding indirectly to the skeptics who while parading the models wonder if someone really puts on those clothes. The answer is yes, and they are also a good sight because they create in the observer the magical sensation of having taken a step back in time, when women were ethereal apparitions. As for the inspiration of the season, Rocha places a message-poem on the chairs, where we speak of the sea, of pearls discovered at the bottom of the ocean, of salt-encrusted looks. Suggestions that, considering the twilight vein of the designer, trigger in the writer references to the damned verses of the Ballad of the Old Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The show continues, like a fashion transposition of &quot;Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed&quot; of the fundamental postulate of Lavoisier&#39;s physics. Rocha is Rocha, a romantic and tormented universe of nineteenth-century volumes, flounces, tulle. And just like that.
