The layers of Simone Rocha's dresses overlapped themselves like Louise Bourgeois sculptures. "I just absolutely love her work and the fact that it's so personal. Also a lot of it is very textile based, but I love all of her materials – marble, wood, glass, and the contrast of it. Even though it was personal to her a lot of people relate to it," Rocha noted backstage. The tapestry-like textiles were combined with sheer mesh while hair-like fur with florals. "I read recently that when she (Louise) was asked to go and have her photo taken she said she was so nervous she would rather hide behind her work so she just brought this huge phallus with her, which I think is a great idea," Rocha said. "I'd much rather be behind a rail of clothes right now!"
