is celebrated for her artistic prints, electric hues and floating chiffon designs that span her career of over 50 years, and her name is etched in fashion history. The same could very well be said about her neon-pink bob and rainbow-hued makeup — two longtime signatures that make her immediately recognizable and mirror the vibrancy of her fantastical collections.
Rhodes says that she has been rocking fuchsia tresses since the ’80s and maintains the look by using Crazy Color Semi-Permanent Hair Color Cream in “Pinkissimo” every two weeks. Recalling one point in her hair history, she mentions a flirtation with dyeing her hair and experimenting with “things like green streaks and feathers stuck on the ends with eyelash glue.”
One of British fashion’s most-loved characters, Rhodes started her career in textiles by selling her vivacious prints directly to designers. But after struggling to get orders and being told that her work was too extreme, she decided to set up her eponymous label in 1969. “I was creating stars, explosions and lipsticks and designers wanted something else that wasn’t me,” she explains. “I felt I had something different to add to the world.
A major career highlight came in 2015, when she was named Dame Commander by Princess Anne. And true to her flamboyant style, Rhodes turned up at Buckingham Palace that day in a vibrant blue ensemble and a hat decorated with a rhinestone egg.
