At the Port Eliot Festival 2017, Dame Zandra Rhodes completely took over the estate's Orangery to create an immersive, bright-pink facsimile of her London apartment known as "Zandra Land."

Alongside hosting a live outdoor fashion show showcasing her archive re-edition capsule with MatchesFashion, she actively participated in the festival's Art School by hosting print masterclasses and posing for live drawing sessions. Beyond fashion, Rhodes teamed up with critic Sarah Mower to lead a passionate "Creative Resistance" talk, using her platform to rally the bohemian festival crowd to fight against government cuts to youth arts education.
