Zandra Rhodes: A Lifelong Love Affair With Textiles April 1, 2011

This exhibit features Zandra Rhodes' forty-seven haute couture costumes from the 1960s through the 1980s by this London-and San Diego-based iconic fashion designer. These costumes will reveal her process, approach to shape, color, technique and world wide influences. Zandra's work as a designer first of textiles, then of fashion, will be highlighted; and her dresses will be complemented by related textiles from the Museum's collection to emphasize the varied cultural sources of her creations.
