WHILE one sixties fashion icon – Barbara Hulanicki – is about to let a capsule collection loose on high street favourite Topshop, another is getting ready to do the same for high street staple Marks & Spencer: Zandra Rhodes.
The legendary designer – famed for her pink hair – will launch a capsule collection, using her creative and iconic designs as inspiration, on May 7.
"Marks & Spencer does a wonderful product range and I have always wanted to design for them. I am thrilled to see my prints and their beautiful clothes reach a wide range of customers," says Rhodes, who has produced a range of womenswear, accessories, holiday pieces and lingerie.
"This has been an amazing opportunity to work with such a well-known designer and a perfect fit for M&S. Zandra’s unique prints and aesthetic work really well for our customers," adds M&S head of womenswear design, Neil Hendy.
Starting from £6 for a pair of knickers and £16 for a bra, prices go up to £65 and £89 for a jumpsuit and one-shouldered dress respectively. The range will be available online and in 55 stores nationwide.
