Happy Socks x Zandra Rhodes
Together with Happy Socks, the Queen of Colour celebrates a lifetime of creativity with an exclusive selection of timeless and unapologetically colourful socks. The collection features reimagined versions of three of her most iconic prints: Snake, Button Flower, and Wiggle.
Inspired by her colourful life, the prints take on elements from Zandra’s career and experiences:
· The renowned Snake print made its debut in 1968 when Zandra created it as a temporary tattoo sold in world-famous department store Harrods in London.
· While roaming Paris in the 60’s, Zandra stumbled upon dazzling floral buttons at J&J Stern, which inspired her famed Button Flower print that launched in 1971. The shape of the petals were influenced by French painter Henri Matisse.
· A consistent feature in designs throughout her career, the Wiggle has become one of Zandra’s most well-known prints.
The collection launches on April 6th, 2021, and will be available on Happysocks.com, in Happy Socks Stores, and at selected retailers.
“When teaming up with Happy Socks, I said, ‘let’s create something that can cheer us up and make our day by just wearing it,’” Zandra grins. “I hope the socks help spread a little joy and that they stand out as a statement piece for everyone!”
