Zandra Rhodes | Iconic

Sat 23 Nov 2024 | 2:00pm – 3:00pm

‘Dazzling from start to finish…I couldn’t have loved it more.’ – Joanna Lumley 

Legendary fashion designer Dame Zandra Rhodes presents her insightful memoir, Iconic. Renowned for colourful designs, Zandra has dressed everyone from rock stars to royalty. She has spent her life rallying against what was expected of her, both as a designer and a woman. Often perceived as too bold for the mainstream, Zandra fought for creativity and individuality, and continues to achieve both in everything she does.  

Expect poignant reflections on her personal triumphs and tragedies, as well as the fears, sacrifices and pressures that come with being an era-defining designer. 

In conversation with author and award-winning writer Lotte Jeffs.
