Glamourous hardcover reprint of the 1984 edition

This book began as a record of Zandra Rhodes' work and has become the ultimate reference book for students studying the process behind creating designs. It explains how Zandra's ideas are translated from her original sketchbook drawing, into a textile design, and then into the final garment. It spans from the beginning of her career to 1981. (10"x10"; 240 pages with over 400 coloured illustrations) Read more!

This book highlights classics from the Rhodes collection such as the famed 'Dionosaur' coat, the Lily collections, Conceptual Chic, the Chinese series, and the rarely seen Spanish Impressions and Mediaeval collections. It also showcases contemporary work from Zandra's studio, as well as examples of the great influence her style and work have on fashion designers today. The book looks at Zandra's creative process, the textile printing process, and the fantastic, romantic finished product.
