staged her first physical show in a year and a half. The show was held in St Bartholomew-the-Great, a medieval church located in Smithfield within the City of London. Founded as an Augustinian priory in 1123, this church has endured 900 years of British history, outlived 41 monarchs and survived – somewhat remarkably – the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Great Fire of London, the Blitz and yes, the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here, upon stone floors smoothed by nine centuries of worshippers’ feet, Rocha’s models showcased this collection – in a spectacle of beauty that perhaps only she is capable of producing. As per the baptismal theme, her clothes took inspiration from christening and communion gowns, cut from swathes of cream ‘bedding’ brocade, cotton poplin sheets and broderie Anglaise, interwoven with satin ties and embellished so richly with pearls and crystals that you could hear as well as see them.
In the wake of the show, Rocha opens up about the event, the ideas behind the collection and how it feels to see people wearing your clothes.SR: I feel wrecked! But I’m actually really happy with the show. When you’re in it, sometimes it’s hard to see the wood from the trees. It’s very Twilight Zone. Sometimes you don’t know how you’re going to feel, and if what was in your head is projected. But this time I do feel what was in my brain was projected. So I think that is a good feeling.
