About the Item
Dame Zandra Rhodes is an iconic British designer who has been designing for the last 50 years. Rhodes considers herself “an artist working in the field of textiles and fashion,” evident in her process which always starts with drawing and finishes with the final product and how it drapes on the body. The international world of fashion is indelibly embedded with her dramatic, theatrical designs.
Her background as a printed textile artist is an underlining passion that makes her work "pop" with dynamic exuberance. She has designed and clothed the Who's Who of the Glitterati: from Jackie Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor to Bianaca Jagger and Princess Diana.
This exquisite mid-length dress, created in 1987 is a rare acquisition, and its sister dress in ivory is part of the collection of the The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Clothing you in a breath of light and air this dress is handcrafted from baby blue silk with a hand-printed skyscraper design.
The collar: like a pearl necklace is a sampling of Zandra Rhodes' brilliantly executed design expertise!
The bodice is embellished with hand-applied crystals, baby pearls, and glass beads. The dress boasts a pearl-trimmed draped open back with a tie closure at the neck.
The handkerchief sleeves and hem are adorned with pink pearl droplets.
Ethereal and beautiful, this lovely dress evokes a raw energy with romantic royalty.
