Simone Rocha Hosts SoHo Party for Fifth Crocs Collaboration

Simone Rocha celebrated her fifth collaboration with Crocs at her Wooster Street store in SoHo on Thursday night. The event drew an eclectic mix of editors, stylists, and superfans, including Laila Gohar, who served vanilla cake and raspberries with cream. Champagne was passed on silver platters as guests admired the crystal-studded rubber Crocs. Rocha's multi-generational fanbase was evident, with attendees in their 60s and 70s wearing embroidered coats and a tween in Rocha ribbons and a crystal brooch. The designer herself wore a silky black bomber jacket and crystal drop earrings. The event hinted at potential Met Gala appearances, given the theme 'Fashion Is Art.' Rocha's previous artist homages include spiderweb embroideries inspired by Louise Bourgeois and bodysuits printed with paintings by Genieve Figgis.
