The Runway Rundown: The Simone Rocha x Jean Paul Gaultier Collection Was A Meeting Of Minds And Beauty
Kylie Jenner was amongst those keen to get a first-eye glance at Rocha's Paris debut and, yes, there was a cone bra.
Simone Rocha has never held back on opulent detailing or exquisite craftsmanship in her ready-to-wear collections and so her couture debut was always going to be an opportunity for her to flex the fancy and then some. Her Wednesday afternoon show offered so much more than just a sorted of heightened elegance and a Parisian recalibration of her much-adored aesthetic, but designing under the Jean Paul Gaultier label brought new-for-Simone references and even a push towards the more overtly sexy and subversive.
Rocha is the latest designer to be invited by Jean Paul Gaultier to visit the archive and dream up a hybrid couture collection that brings together Gaultier's world with her own. She follows in the footsteps of Julien Dossena, Haider Ackermann, Olivier Rousteing, Glenn Martens and Chitose Abe who have taken on the stewardship.
So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at this collaboration for the ages.
