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. \u003cspan\u003eThis collection forms part of Circa’s designer archive, featuring archival vintage and museum-quality fashion pieces from the house of Zandra Rhodes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1980s-zandra-rhodes-pale-green-couture-silk-chiffon-dress-hat-and-bag-set-uk-size-12","title":"1980s Zandra Rhodes Pale Green Couture Silk Chiffon Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazing vintage 1980s Zandra Rhodes couture pale green chiffon dress.

Her abstract, signature screen-printed fabric is worked by hand in a lime, apple green, white and silvery brown colourway, with delicate threads of sequins and bugle beads running through it. The dress is fitted through to the hip and flares out with overlaid elongated panels, similar to a car wash style which separate when you walk, creating a bohemian and flowing look. It is lined with a pale mint silk that is cut with a similar wide fringe detail and which feels cool and comfortable for the wearer. The style reminds us of the early flapper dresses of the late 1910s and 1920s when women were released from constraining undergarments and fashions moved to a less constructed look. The very long and extravagant scarf is nearly twice the length and one and a half times the width of the dress and can be styled as a shawl, neck scarf or worn separately. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lady who consigned this dress was a close personal friend of Zandra Rhodes who bespoke designed and made this dress ensemble for her son's wedding around 8 years ago.

Rising to fame as a fashion and textile designer in the 1970s, her audacious, highly feminine designs put her at the forefront of the London fashion scene. This denim mini-dress can be attributed to Rhodes’ Autumn\/Winter 1987 collection, entitled “If You Wish Upon a Star”. The sketchy, star print was seen throughout the runway show across the clothes, on the runway backdrop and on the invitation drawn by Rhodes herself. This mini-dress shows Rhodes at her most casual and fun. Tailored from pale grey cotton denim, it is printed with painterly stars and splashes in pale blue and grey which make the dress look like it has been graffitied by the designer herself. The dress has a body-hugging, panelled construction. The top forms a bustier with satin straps trimmed with polished silver chains and rhinestones - playful, expected details from the flamboyant designer. The drop-waist is also trimmed with rhinestones and a chain and gives way to a layered, ruffled ra-ra skirt. Buttons fall the length of the body at the front.

The neckline is trimmed with raspberry ribbon, alongside bright orange ribbon which has been pleated and pinned to a ruffle style. The bust is trimmed with a raspberry bead-trimmed ruffle that circles around to the back. The sleeves are very long with ruffled, flared cuffs and trimmed at the very end with raspberry spherical beads.
