ZANDRA RHODES

Zandra Rhodes is a British fashion designer who studied printed textile design at the Royal College of Art. In the 1960s, Zandra Rhodes and Sylvia Ayton opened a fashion boutique on London's Fulham Road. Her work formed part of the new wave of British designers that made London pivotal in the international fashion scene during the 1970s, with notable clients including Freddy Mercury and Diana, Princess of Wales. Zandra Rhodes is renowned for her extroverted, feminine style and her designs often mirror her own aesthetic. She received a CBE in 1997 and, in 2003, founded London's Fashion and Textile Museum. This collection forms part of Circa’s designer archive, featuring archival vintage and museum-quality fashion pieces from the house of Zandra Rhodes.
