There might be a sense of innocence in the plumed cotton and cascading ruffles of this dress, but there’s sinister story behind
Simone Rocha’s collection. In the British designer’s tale of inspiration, the housewife world this midi looks like it’s plucked from is invaded by Irish “Wren boys”, in search of a miniature bird to kill (dark, we know). That’s your cue to throw in a few punk details to balance out the froufrou; we’re thinking studded ankle boots and a leather clutch.
