Couture Codes with Rochas
I was ecstatic to have been able to attend my first fashion show in Paris this year with Rochas. Rochas is a luxury fashion, beauty and fragrance house - founded in 1925 by French designer Marcel Rochas. It was an honour to have been dressed from head to toe in a couture, pink dress by Rochas this year.
If you’re a loyal follower of the Rochas label you’ll know that some of the most stunning pieces from the brand are the beautifully embellished garments with marabou trims or crystals. I was in absolute awe of the flowing chiffon and silk gowns in baby pink, white, black and navy. The dresses looked like something straight out of a fairytale. The entire collection was a beautiful mix of feathers, sequins, patent leathers, chiffon and vintage colours.
Creative director Alessandro Dell'Acqua said he was inspired by couture references in a modern world, and that was visible in many of the pretty, feminine pieces he presented.
There is something incredibly special about travelling with someone who has known you for more than three decades. Someone who remembers every version of you .. the younger you, the more chaotic you, the dressed-up you, the tired you .. and who can still make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
