Simone Rocha has taken home the Designer of the Year Award at Stylist’s Remarkable Women Awards in association with BareMinerals. The esteemed Irish designer accepted her award at tonight’s ceremony, which took place at The Londoner Hotel in Leicester Square.

Rocha has made a name for herself thanks to her standout, ethereal designs, for which she has won numerous awards. Just last month, she showed her a/w 2022 collection at London Fashion Week – a gothic, floaty line-up comprising plenty of signature dresses.  

Throughout her career, she has worked with a long list of respected creatives, including Jacob Lillis, Eoin McLoughlin and Harley Weir.

Currently, she has three stand-alone stores in London, New York and Hong Kong – each of which features Rocha’s sculptures and handmade furniture. And last year, she produced a collaboration with H&M which sold out in a matter of minutes.  

Accepting her award in London, Rocha said: “It’s amazing to be here tonight and I’d like to thank my own team of remarkable women.” Rocha then joked she did have one man on the team (shoutout to Lewis). “I get to do this because of them,” she said.
