Simone Rocha explores Irish folklore for SS20:
Simone Rocha’s SS20 show felt incredibly special – dragged up out of town up onto Muswell Hill, to Alexandra Palace, in an afternoon of bright, beautiful sunshine. You could sense it would be a one off. The show was staged in the Alexandra Palace Theatre -- which was restored and reopened late last year after being closed for eighty years, but has been left just untouched enough to still hold a shabby, faded grandeur.
The starting point for it all, Simone explained, was the Irish traditions of St Stephen’s Day, when people chase and catch a wren, the smallest bird of the British Isles, and parade it through the town, dressed up in straw masks and suits. They go through town, door to door, singing and asking for money.
The show was dramatic and resplendent, maybe partly a result of the theatrical space and the Irish choral soundtrack, but there was something deeply emotionally powerful about it. Each season it feels like Simone continues to refine her aesthetic world -- that mix of sweetness, fragility and darkness -- but here it pushed into some of the most poetic and arresting clothing she has created.
