LONDON LOVES
A few things to know about three hot Brit fashion names.
SIMONE ROCHA
Dublin-born Rocha launched her ladywith-a-twist line in 2010, went on to create window installations for Colette in Paris and nabbed Emerging Womenswear Designer honours at last year’s British Fashion Awards.
CLAIRE BARROW
Barrow, 24, started designing leather jackets (which were scooped up by London’s cool kids) before branching out into punky accessories and ready-towear, many of which feature her handpainted designs. SHRIMPS The vibrant ’60s mod coats and clutch bags, inspired by modern art and crafted in faux fur, are designed by Londoner Hannah Weiland and, as of this fall, will be sold in Canada at Holt Renfrew.
