Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Join us for an extraordinary celebration of fashion as the ultimate form of self-expression with Dame Zandra Rhodes, one of Britains most iconic and influential designers, alongside Daniel Lismore, the acclaimed artist and Living Sculpture recognised by Vogue as Englands Most Eccentric Dresser. This conversation will explore fashions transformative power and its role in shaping identity, challenging conventions, and liberating creative expression. From the Kings Roads swinging sixties revolution to the raw energy of punk, Chelsea has been the epicentre of Britains most significant cultural and style movements. As both witness to, and architect of, some of these seismic shifts, Dame Zandra Rhodes offers unparalleled insight into fashions capacity to reflect and reshape society. Her fearless approach to colour, print, and silhouette has challenged fashion orthodoxy for over five decades, creating clothes that are as much works of art as they are statements of personal freedom. This conversation will traverse Dame Zandras remarkable journey through fashions most defining moments, from her early days printing fabrics to dressing rock legends and royalty alike. Daniel Lismore brings his unique perspective as a performance artist, champion of sustainable fashion and proponent of recycling clothes. Drawing from Dame Zandras compelling memoir Iconic: My Life in Fashion in 50 Objects and Lismores own book Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Already Taken, they will share stories behind their most memorable creations and reflect on how fashion continues to serve as a powerful tool for identity, rebellion, and self-discovery.
