This Maximalist Flat Shoe Trend Just Hit the Runway in London

It's hard to name many other designers who are quite as in sync as Simone Rocha is with the bold, daring, experimental direction that British designers are traveling in. The always directional designer just showed her unabashedly romantic collection for F/W 18 at London Fashion Week, and upon viewing the looks, we quickly noticed that she's continuing to embrace the furry flat shoe trend that she sent down the runway for S/S 18. The flats—and the rest of the opulent collection, for that matter—prove that the maximalist look will still be going strong come fall. Ahead, see Simone Rocha F/W 18 in its entirety for yourself.
