'A vivid and compelling picture of the broader fashion landscape between 1960 and the present day. Anecdotes? The book is full of them.' The Times

'Dazzling from start to finish.' Joanna Lumley

In this insightful memoir, Zandra shares her life story for the first time. Told through a variety of mementos collected over the years, it is a vibrant account filled with rockstars and royalty, of life-changing friendships and poignant reflections on her personal triumphs and tragedies, as well as the fears, sacrifices and pressures that come with being an era-defining designer.

Full of poignant reflections and life lessons on achieving success while defying convention, Zandra recounts being inspired by her avant-garde mother to her time at the Royal College alongside David Hockney; from a road trip to Rome with Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, to opening her first London store thanks to a loan from Vanessa Redgrave with Joe Cocker singing With a Little Help From My Friends to the assembled crowd of London's 1960s fashion scene; from hanging out with Andy Warhol and Halston in New York's Studio 54 to lifelong friendships with legends such as Karl Lagerfeld and Diana Vreeland; from designing for everyone from Freddie Mercury to Diana Ross, Princess Diana to Barbra Streisand to founding the Fashion and Textile Museum.

Capturing the rich and unexpected life of a British icon, this memoir explores what it is to defy the norm.

‘Zandra Rhodes has changed the course of fashion history.' Suzy Menkes, fashion journalist
