Zandra Rhodes

The British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes (1940 - ) uses the term ‘Works of Art’ to describe her dresses due to the artistic design process. The University for the Creative Arts Research Fund provided a small grant to write a journal article investigating Zandra Rhodes’ Works of Art in the 1980s. The idea for this research project originated during the Jisc-funded Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection project (2011-13). As Digital Cataloguer, Marie-Therese investigated materials in the Zandra Rhodes Archives in London to assist with describing the dress collections. Additional materials were consulted for this research grant including: press books (UK and international magazine and newspaper clippings), postcards, posters and fashion show invitations. The research was also informed by conversations with Zandra Rhodes and Frances Diplock at the Studio and an extensive literature review. More details of the research methodology are provided in this fileset's notes document.

英国时尚设计师桑德拉·罗德斯（Zandra Rhodes，1940-）因其裙装的艺术化设计流程，将其称为“艺术作品”。英国创意艺术大学研究基金（University for the Creative Arts Research Fund）提供了小额资助，用于撰写一篇期刊论文，探讨20世纪80年代桑德拉·罗德斯的“艺术作品”系列。本研究项目的构想源自于受Jisc资助的桑德拉·罗德斯数字研究馆藏项目（Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection project，2011-2013）。作为数字编目员，玛丽-泰雷兹（Marie-Therese）对伦敦的桑德拉·罗德斯档案中的材料进行了调研，以协助描述该裙装馆藏。本次研究还参考了额外材料，包括：英国及国际杂志与报纸剪报册、明信片、海报以及时装秀邀请函。研究还通过与工作室的桑德拉·罗德斯和弗朗西斯·迪普洛克（Frances Diplock）的对话，以及大量的文献综述得以完善。本文件集的说明文档中提供了研究方法的更多细节。
