FLYING THE FLAG When the ever-enchanting Simone R
ocha took to the stage at last spring’s OFFSET, it became quickly apparent that, for her, pausing for reflection is a seldomrelished luxury. Rocha’s ascent into the highest echelons of London design talent has been nothing short of resolute; her recent affiliations with Dover Street Market and Moncler providing tangible proof. Yet such accomplishments have only further solidified her links to home, with the designer’s dual heritage in Hong Kong and Ireland repeatedly surfacing in collection influences. These iron-clad ties will be explored in the next issue of A Magazine Curated By, for which Rocha serves as guest editor and curator. Peppered with contributors such as Mary Robinson, Richard Mosse and her design-dynasty father John, the project’s connotations are utterly personal – and with that, utterly Rocha. Published October 4 @simonerocha x @amagazinecuratedby FLYING THE FLAG II Since former Dubliner Frieda Gormley co-established House of Hackney some seven years ago, the interior/ fashion design label has clocked up a legion of admirers for its maximalist tendencies. HOH’s penchant for extroverted prints and tactile textiles has cloaked lavish homes and Mayfair member’s clubs alike. The latest string to its bow, however, will see the label finally cross the Atlantic, with a buzzy pop-up in Bergdorf Goodman launching on October 23. Manhattan dwellers can enjoy a floor-to-ceiling visual experience in the department store’s library room – its exquisite offerings resulting from a partnership with French heritage brand Zuber. @houseofhackney x @bergdorfs Save the Date… 6th October, when social historian Pamela Cox will weave tales of Victorian shop-girls and seamstresses.
