JOHN ROCHA SS12

Another beautiful collection from John Rocha this season, drawing inspiration from mythical warriors, fishing in the amazon, John continues to explore textures and structures and the stories they can tell. The dresses have been sculpted with dense patchwork crotchets, leather and hand tucked raffia. I love that Johns women can seem tough and serene at the same time. Abbey-Lee was perfect for the show, she is such a goddess! I think the headpieces were the perfect accompaniment as well as the chunky black rubber shoes that were quite a surprise for such a soft collection but perfect link to the inspiration.

The title of this post should really be Abbey Lee Kershaw is a goddess. I am totally mesmerised by these pictures of her!
John Rocha’s AW 11 show was more textured than ever with chunky knitwear, crochet, wool and fur in black, red and nude. The collection looks exactly what I want to be dressing up in next winter, especially the furs and ponyskins. The metallic platform boots gave a glam rock edge to a collection originally inspired by the harsh landscapes of Iceland.
