“Simone Rocha’s Latest Menswear Collection Takes Inspiration from Childhood Classics”
As womenswear runways embrace bold colors and strong silhouettes borrowed from old-school menswear, designer Simone Rocha is flipping the script with her latest menswear collection. Debuted on the Fall/Winter 2025 runway, the London-based designer’s newest lookbook is a playful and romantic take on traditional menswear.
Drawing inspiration from the classic tale of “The Tortoise & The Hare,” Rocha’s collection infuses a sense of child-like joy and whimsy into every piece. The designer takes a moment to reflect and slow down, creating a collection that is both nostalgic and editorial.
From faux-fur stuffed animal companions that double as this season’s must-have accessory, to bike locks repurposed as belts cinching knit vests and pleated trousers, Rocha’s designs seamlessly blend childhood favorites with high fashion.
The collection features ruffled varsity polos paired with grade-school-inspired pleated shorts, adorned with beaded rabbit embroideries and intricate buttons. The outerwear silhouettes take a more relaxed approach, with fur-trimmed jackets and oversized leather bombers.
Rocha’s impeccable selection is sure to attract a growing menswear consumer base, with pieces set to drop later this year. In the meantime, check out the full Simone Rocha Menswear FW25 lookbook in the gallery above and stay tuned to Hypebeast for more updates.
