Zandra Rhodes: A Lifelong Love Affair with Textiles
2 February 2005 - July 2005
'The Fashion and Textile Museum is pleased to announce the first major retrospective dedicated to the work of Zandra Rhodes to be seen in Europe. Zandra Rhodes: A Lifelong Love Affair with Textiles will take a comprehensive look at Zandra’s textile and fashion designs. It will allow the viewer to witness the creative process, from her initial inspiration through to the exotic finished product. A journey through the entire process, this show will include photography, objects, Zandra’s sketchbooks, the actual silk screens and the resulting printed fabrics guiding the viewer to the finished garments.
Zandra is an internationally recognized designer and an institution of British fashion. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Zandra rose to prominence in the 1960’s with her first solo collection debuting in 1969. Renowned for her brilliantly colourful screen-printed and hand-decorated textiles, she was elected Royal Designer for Industry in 1974. In 1997 in recognition of her contribution to the fashion and textile industry she was made Commander of the British Empire. She has an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art and many other universities in the UK and the USA.
A carefully chosen selection of Zandra's most notable works will be shown including the celebrated Dinosaur coat, the Lily collections, Conceptual Chic, the Chinese series and the rarely seen Spanish Impression and Medieval collections.
The work of the most illustrious names in the world of photography will be featured throughout the exhibition. Clive Arrowsmith, David Bailey, Frank Bauer, Robyn Beeche, Guy Bourdin, Norman Parkinson, Barry Lategan and others.
Many of the images in the exhibition feature personalities who have worn the designs of Zandra Rhodes: Freddie Mercury, Bianca Jagger, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelly Osborne, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Princess Diana, Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss.'
