LFW SS26: Simone Rocha and Crocs debut ballerina platform in romantic floral showcase

Simone Rocha and Crocs return with the highly anticipated fourth instalment of their ongoing partnership, debuting the all-new Ballerina Platform at Rocha’s spring/summer 2026 show at London Fashion Week.

It marks a bold evolution in their collaborative design journey, introducing a completely new Crocs mold that merges the brand’s comfort-driven ethos with Rocha’s signature romantic aesthetic.

Drawing inspiration from the Crocs Siren Clog, the Ballerina Platform is a sculptural, playful silhouette that blends practicality with couture elements.

Key design elements include in-mold detailing reminiscent of ballet pointe shoes, bow-like motifs, and a striking architectural outsole. Signature Simone Rocha embellishments - pearls and crystals - also adorn the shoes, which will be available in Black and Oyster colourways.

Alongside the debut of the Ballerina Platform, the SS26 collection also reintroduces updated versions of the Classic Platform Clog in Pink Rose and Black, as well as the Trailbreak Sneaker in Black and Oyster.

The wider SS26 clothing collection offered a romantic exploration of florals, characterised by delicate prints, intricate embroidery, oversized rosette accents, and large, long-stemmed lilies incorporated into various garments.

The collection reflects Rocha’s ongoing exploration of femininity, craftsmanship, and narrative through fashion. Key elements included bralette-inspired tops crafted in sequins and lace across a range of colourways, vinyl pieces adorned with diamanté embellishments, flowing silk, shoelaces as bows, and lace pillowcase-style bags.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1986, Simone Rocha is an internationally acclaimed fashion designer known for her romantic, intricately detailed aesthetic. She earned a BA in Fashion from the National College of Art and Design in 2008, followed by an MA from the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London, graduating in 2010. That same year, she made a debut at London Fashion Week.

Since then, Rocha has become a defining voice in contemporary fashion, celebrated for her poetic, feminine vision and masterful craftsmanship.

Her collaborations span a diverse range of global brands, including Moncler, Crocs, and H&M, bringing her distinctive style to a wider audience.

Rocha's new collection with Crocs will launch globally in October, and will be available via Simone Rocha boutiques, the Crocs app, and select global retailers.
