Pop art created a fresh new outlook using everyday objects and
design conflating high and low culture into a bright bold
aesthetic. Fueled by the prestigious art schools in London
specifically the Royal College of Arts, the Pop artists of the late
1950s and early 1960s found their voice. A young, eager, and
talented textile student, Zandra Rhodes, took inspiration from the
Pop movement encircling her at the Royal College of Art and the
energy and personalities that put London on the fashion map. Zandra
Rhodes was one of the most pioneering and influential textile
designers of the late 1960s and 1970s who took her remarkable pop
art inspired fabrics and revolutionised the fashion world. This
book highlights Rhodes's early textile designs from her years at
the Royal College of Art, to her first foray into the fashion world
with designs for the legendary Swinging London duo Foale and
Tuffin, to the launch of her eponymous collection as well as
special commissions for Jacqmar, &Vice Versa, and Sekers Pty
Australia. The book features stunning photography of never seen
before textiles, drawings, and archival images combined with
fashion photography by Clive Arrowsmith, Guy Bourdin, Henry Clarke,
David Bailey, Helmut Newton, and Richard Traeger. Beautifully
designed, Zandra Rhodes: Textiles Revolution, Medals, Wiggles and
