Zandra Rhodes Light Blue Hand Printed Sheer Silk Pearl Beaded Dress Museum Piece

Rhodes considers herself “an artist working in the field of textiles and fashion,” evident in her process which always starts with drawing and finishes with the final product and how it drapes on the body. The international world of fashion is indelibly embedded with her dramatic, theatrical designs.
