Listen Later

What does it take to build a legacy that spans over six decades, dressing everyone from royalty to rock stars, while staying true to your unique, uncompromising vision?


In this episode, Holly has a heartfelt conversation with the legendary Dame Zandra Rhodes, a beloved figure in the fashion world whose vibrant designs and bold spirit have made her an icon. From the swinging sixties to today, Zandra has gracefully pushed boundaries, embraced change, and navigated life's challenges with remarkable resilience. Her journey—from a creative childhood in Chatham, Kent, to dressing stars like Princess Diana, Freddie Mercury, and countless others—feels almost like a fairy tale. Along the way, Zandra has faced loss and battled cancer, yet she has always stayed true to herself.


With her signature pink hair, unforgettable style, and a heart as bright as her designs, Zandra’s story is not only one of creativity but of strength, reinvention, and a deep belief in following her own path.


This conversation is packed with Zandra’s wisdom she has learned throughout her extraordinary life. It’s a story that will leave you feeling inspired by a woman whose impact is as enduring as her iconic work and the beautiful legacy she continues to create.
