Zandra Rhodes

Life and Soul by Emma Forbes

We thought it was fitting to see the year out in style…so in this episode I speak to one of my icons, the fashion designer and Queen of Pink, Dame Zandra Rhodes. Her designs, textiles and jewellery have graced catwalks, wardrobes and museum collections around the world.

Even via Zoom, Zandra was full of colour with her unmissable fuchsia bob and bold blue eyeshadow! I was happy to hear that she has no plans to retire and we discuss what she has been up to - setting up the Zandra Rhodes Foundation, and collaborating with Ikea, for starters. We discuss what it was like to dress some of the biggest stars and how she attributes her strong work ethic to her mother. Zandra is also full of advice for the younger generation and explains why you should never shy away from being your true self.

I can’t wait to see what she gets up to in 2021!
