Dame Zandra Rhodes

“Here I am in isolation in my rainbow penthouse, outside the Camellias are out in full bloom. White, single red, double pink with white flecks together with my magnificent magnolia stellata all smiling at the morning sun with The Shard like a giant candle reaching for the sky behind the ivy-covered wall. I am so inspired by the beauty of my terrace, I sit and paint. Inside I greet the morning shafts of sunlight – I make my breakfast then go down to my workroom to plan positively for the future.”
