Zandra Rhodes

Zandra Rhodes is immediately recognisable by her pink (once green) hair and her very extrovert dress style.  She had to open her own retail outlet in the Fulham Road as her creations were, at first, deemed too outrageous by British manufacturers.

Her designs are often not what one would wear to the local supermarket. She uses reverse exposed seams to great effect as well as accessories like jewelled safety pins.  The colours she combines are often eye-stopping.  However, there are Zandra Rhodes designs which, though they are unmistakably Zandra, are universal in their appeal.



I would happily wear the skirt and the figured, easy-fit dress. The wonderful skimpy coloured outfits I would have to leave to those of younger years and finer figures!
