Zandra Rhodes

Iconic: My Life in Fashion in 50 Objects – To Be Published 18th July 2024 (Hardcover)

Dame Zandra Rhodes, one of fashion’s greatest individualists, has spent her life pushing back against what was expected of her as a designer and as a woman. Never part of the mainstream and far too bold to be conventional, she is justly recognised as both an influential creative and a major cultural force. In this bold, insightful memoir Zandra Rhodes shares her extraordinary life story through a variety of mementos collected over the years. It is a vibrant, energetic, and entertaining account infused with stories of rock stars, life changing friendships, tragedies, triumphs, and the sacrifices that come with being a design legend. Among the career highs: opening her first store with a loan from actress Vanessa Redgrave; judging Andrew Logan’s Alternative Miss World with David Hockney and Angie Bowie; and designing clothes for Freddie Mercury, Diana Ross, Diana Princess of Wales, and Barbara Streisand. Dame Zandra Rhodes is a national treasure!
