Simone Rocha: ‘I did a collaboration with Crocs, then couture for Jean Paul Gaultier'
What drives the renowned Irish fashion designer Simone Rocha? Fashion lovers will get an insight into the London-based Dubliner's inspirations when she and the photographer Perry Ogden take part in a discussion at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Imma) next week. 'I'm looking forward to sharing more about the practice and the process,' Rocha told The Sunday Times. 'Because with fashion we show twice a year but it's a very intimate thing. So I think it'll be nice to break down and share a little bit of the influence and the behind the scenes as well. I'm really excited about going to speak in Imma — I've always adored it as an institution.' For Rocha, fashion is in the blood. The 38-year-old is the

‘A sartorial middle finger': The $8500 clutch shaped like a coffee cup
LISTEN | Pregnant pause Amy is a Canadian doula, a non-medical person who provides emotional and physical support during a birth. One day, she receives a call to remotely assist a woman named Kaitlyn, who's totally alone in another state, is pregnant as the result of rape, and is about to deliver a stillborn baby. What follows is days on the phone, with Amy barely eating or sleeping, emotionally spent from shepherding Kaitlyn through crisis after crisis. It turns out that Kaitlyn was lying about everything – and Amy isn't the only birth worker she has deceived. The podcast The Con: Kaitlyn's Baby is confronting and baffling. Since Kaitlyn's motive wasn't money, points out host Sarah Treleaven, what could have prompted her to attempt such a callous deception?

Crocs classic clogs get an almost 50% price cut bringing them down to less than £30
Love them or hate them, Crocs have been having a resurgence and the classic clogs are currently less than £30 in a limited-time Amazon deal ahead of summer Whether you're a fan or not, there's no denying the Croc resurgence we've been seeing over the past few years. Bedazzled and heeled Crocs were seen all over Simone Rocha's SS24 runway show, while new styles including flip flop Crocs and chunky platform Crocs have come about, and helped give them a fashion edge. And if you love the controversial shoe, you're in luck as you can grab a pair of the OGs for less than £30 in a limited time Amazon sale. The Classic Clogs are typically priced between £40 and £50, depending on retailers, but with Amazon's almost 50% discount, you can grab them for £28. These comfy clogs are lightweight, super easy to clean, and designed with those iconic ventilation holes that keep things cool and breezy, plus, they let water and sand drain right out, which is perfect for beach days or boat trips. The Croslite™ material is what gives them that soft, cushiony feel that moulds perfectly to your foot, and the heel strap keeps everything secure while you're on the move. With over 400,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars, it's clear these iconic shoes have some big fans. Shoppers most commonly praise them for their comfort, durability, and lightweight design. One shopper finally gave into the divisive shoe, and wrote: "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm genuinely impressed with my first pair of Crocs. Admittedly, I used to hate the style—just the thought of wearing them made me cringe—but I decided to give them a try, and I'm so glad I did. The comfort level is incredible! They feel like walking on clouds, and the rear band works brilliantly for a secure fit. On top of that, they're super versatile" While a second said: "Practical , robust and comfortable. Good for gardening, short walks and easy to clean". A flag from shoppers, however, was that the Crocs show up on the larger and wider side, so we recommend sizing down if you're in between sizes. If you're not convinced by Crocs, why not try out the Birkenstock rubberised Super Birkis, loved by Meghan Markle herself. These are the perfect chuck-on-and-go clogs for gardening and other practical tasks around the house.
