We're sending major congratulations to award-winning Irish fashion designer Simone Rocha, on the news that she is expecting her first child.
Simone, who is the daughter of popular Irish designer John Rocha, confirmed the joyful news yesterday. Her little one is due this coming November.
The next few months will be particularly hectic for Simone, who is also launching her first stand-alone store in London's trendy Mayfair area.
Looking ahead to the New Year, Simone revealed to the Herald that she is also already planning her first big window display.
"And, in between, I have to have a child," she said, adding, "So I have to think of all these things now."
Simone's star has been on the rise over the past three years, with the talented designer winning a brace of awards at the prestigious British Fashion Awards. Her collections have also proven to be a highlight of London Fashion Week each season.
We wish Simone all the best with the rest of her pregnancy.
