Mention John Rocha's name and it usually conjures up connotations of Debenhams- granny-esque, far from fetching nylon and altogether not too cool clothes. Maybe John Rocha was aware of these as well because his AW 09 collection couldn't have been further from the drabness that is Debenhams.
Models shimmied down the catwalk in silky nudes, elegant tweeds and fiery orange tones. Volume was a big deal again with ruffles, balloon and lantern silhouettes dominating outfits. Headbands were huge and exaggerated a la Carrie from the Sex and the City days past. The most incongruous pieces for John Rocha, however, were the encrusted collars. Padded, attachable diamond (well I'm guessing not real diamonds, but y'know what I mean) collars gave every outfit an extra special sparkle. It looks like there's more to John Rocha than Debenhams after all.
