Zandra Rhodes' Works of Art 1979-87

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.This journal article has now been published by Costume: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/05908876.2016.1165954

英国时装设计师桑德拉·罗德斯（Zandra Rhodes，1940年-）因其设计流程兼具艺术性，将自身设计的连衣裙称之为“艺术作品（Works of Art）”。创意艺术大学研究基金（University for the Creative Arts Research Fund）提供了一笔小额资助，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。本研究项目的构想起源于由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）”。时任数字编目员（Digital Cataloguer）的玛丽-泰雷兹（Marie-Therese）对伦敦的桑德拉·罗德斯档案馆馆藏材料开展调研，以辅助完成该品牌连衣裙馆藏的著录工作。本次研究还参考了其他资料，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。本研究还通过与工作室的桑德拉·罗德斯及弗朗西斯·迪普洛克（Frances Diplock）的座谈交流，以及开展大量文献综述工作，获取了相关研究支撑信息。本研究的方法细节可参见本文件集的说明文档。该期刊论文现已由《服饰（Costume）》期刊发表，链接为：http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/05908876.2016.1165954
