Zandra Rhodes was one of the British designers who put London at the forefront of the international fashion scene in the 1970's. Her designs are considered creative statements, dramatic but graceful, bold but feminine. Zandra is renowned for her use of prints, and this piece really lets her brilliance shine through. This exemplar of Rhodes' early work is an important find for the serious collector. According to Rhodes, "The lily prints are vital in two respects. First, I love them and feel they represent the best of my work. It is also the original paper design Field of Lilies that the Victoria and Albert Museum chose for their textile archives." The ethereal creation floats over the body like a delicate butterfly. It is constructed of a fine black semi-sheer silk chiffon that is entirely hand-painted. The 'Field of Lilies' print is embellished all over and I adorable the wide scoop neck angel-sleeve bodice with sparkling bead work throughout. The elasticized waist flatters the figure and creates an unforgettable silhouette. Rhodes' exotic originality makes her work among the most copied in the fashion world today. The pictures speak for themselves.
