the Fashion & Textile Museum celebrates ten years on Bermondsey Street this year, and and who better to start off the proceedings than local resident and ‘Princess of Punk’, Zandra Rhodes…?
Zandra Rhodes Unseen is a journey through the designer’s creative process – from the iconic safety pins and pink jersey of her early punk collection to the shredded dresses of the 1977 Conceptual Chic, and finishing with the psychedelic ready-to-wear collections of today. The exhibition explores not only Zandra’s methods but her influences too, placing a heavy focus on her time in India and the finely crafted beaded pieces she produced as a result.
“Many of these garments have only ever been seen on the catwalk
Head of the Fashion and Textile Museum, Celia Joicey describes the exhibition as “one of the highlights of the Museum’s 10th anniversary. Zandra’s extraordinary imagination and sense of colour are instantly recognizable, and this exhibition reveals why she is an inspiration to young designers as well as to her contemporaries.”
Zandra Rhodes Unseen is set to be an unmissable exhibition for any fashion or design enthusiast, held in one of the UK’s only museums dedicated to showcasing developments in contemporary fashion.
