Whereas womenswear runways flip in direction of old-school menswear for daring colours and highly effective silhouettes, designers like Simone Rocha are creating menswear that borrows from girls, presenting a lighter, extra romantic contact. Initially debuting on the Fall/Winter 2025 runway, the London-based designer simply launched this season’s full menswear lookbook, and it’s full of subtly up to date childhood classics.
Impressed by the timeless adage of “The Tortoise & The Hare,” Rocha’s assortment elevates child-like pleasure into editorial whimsy. Time slows because the designer stops to get pleasure from her reflection. No age is simply too outdated for a faux-fur stuffed animal companion, particularly when it may double as this season’s fuzziest accent, the stole. Bike locks are playfully repurposed as belts cinching knit vests, wool overcoats, and pleated trousers.
Extra just like the tortoise and fewer just like the hare, nothing within the seems feels too abrupt. Ruffled varsity polos soften seamlessly into grade-school-inspired pleated shorts that fall simply on the knee, and beaded rabbit embroideries pair properly with the gathering’s “assortment” of intricate buttons.
Although graciously adorned, the outerwear silhouettes take a extra relaxed method. From a fur-trimmed jacket to an outsized leather-based bomber, Rocha continues to supply an impeccable choice to her rising menswear client base.
You possibly can count on these items to drop later this yr. Within the meantime, try the complete Simone Rocha Menswear FW25 lookbook within the gallery above, and keep tuned to Hypebeast for extra updates.
