Zandra Rhodes “Looking Back, Looking Forward” at LFW for Spring Summer 2019, presented with jewellery by Andrew Logan
The title is an indication of Zandra's upcoming 50 year anniversary! The collection has taken this theme by referencing her extensive back catalogue, incorporating prints and colours from 1969 to the present day. Patterns such as her signature "Cacti, Frills, Punk and Wiggles" have been revisited and screen- printed by hand at her London atelier. She has kept every single screen so here the racks are a real archive of her artwork which can automatically be re-visited. These soft chiffons feature alongside her other trademark style of structural pleated metallics, my absolute favourite. Total dream.
