Make a friend from 43things
Making a new friend through 43Things - in person 4 years ago

So… MyCapaciousBottega and I arranged to visit the Zandra Rhodes fashion museum, as detailed on our other Thing.

I’m glad to have taken the plunge to rendezvous with a complete stranger via this site because it was a fun and inspiring day. She’s a sassy, intelligent and sensitive woman; in a few hours I think we went through the gamut of ideas and emotions.

It was funny that she assumed I was a 45 year old gentleman, but such is the nature of the internet I guess. I look forward to the next time.

Visit Zandra Rhodes's Fashion and Textile Museum
I can sing a rainbow 4 years ago

Met up with fellow 43Thinger MyCapaciousBottega to check out this museum in Bermondsey. It’s very much a Zandra Rhodes museum rather than a Fashion and Textile Museum – as the exhibition focused solely on Rhodes’s work dating back to the 60s.

The colours are staggering – a neverending spectrum of vivid hues – and her designs draw from sources of inspiration ranging from the theatrical to the ethnic. Some of the dresses (is it the “73/74”??) will be familiar and have certainly been re-visited by later designers.

No menswear, unfortunately, though the fabrics were so good that I nearly acquired a taste for women’s eveningwear.
