Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection



If you are looking for information on designers, then the Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection might be of interest to you.  The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) launched a digital archive of work by celebrated British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes on 26th March 2013.

 Researchers and students from the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) worked alongside Zandra Rhodes to painstakingly prepare, photograph, and catalogue 500 dresses and garments selected from the designer's private archive, including pieces worn by icons such as Princess Diana, Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Diana Ross. The project has not only catalogued these designs for future generations but also created contextual learning materials which explore her creative processes and production techniques, through video interviews, video tutorials, and exquisite drawings.
 
 The Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection has been made available online for non-commercial use in learning, teaching, and research worldwide.
