“One of my greatest achievements has been redefining the role of print in fashion..."

The Holburne Museum is delighted to present Zandra Rhodes: A Life in Print, a vibrant celebration of one of Britain’s most influential fashion designers. 

This dazzling exhibition brings together a spectacular selection of Dame Zandra Rhodes’ screen-printed garments from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, shown as complete ensembles on vintage Adel Rootstein mannequins.

Known for her fearless use of colour, signature prints and sculptural silhouettes, Dame Zandra Rhodes has redefined the role of print in fashion for more than six decades. This exhibition explores the stories behind some of her most iconic designs, arranged into themed ‘hero print’ sections that reveal how Rhodes translated her motifs into unforgettable garments.

Visitors will also enjoy an audio tour narrated by Zandra Rhodes herself, sharing the stories, inspirations and memories behind her most iconic prints, from travel sketches to cultural influences and famous wearers.

In our February issue, Joanna Lewis spoke to the designer about the exhibition, her life in fashion, and the creative drive that continues to propel her forward.  Click here to have a read online.

With over 6,500 years of winemaking history under its belt, it's somewhat surprising that Greek is only recently emerging as an industry trend within the UK. In recent years, this often-overlooked country has stepped into the spotlight, with quality, value-for-money wines that express the rich terroir of Greece's rugged landscape, 
sunlit days and oceanic climate.

With a huge number of indigenous varietals lending themselves to new wines emerging onto the market, Greece is fast becoming one of the most exciting players in the UK industry today. Here are a few available to buy from Great Wine Co.
