One Helluva Lady

Red haired or green maned, fashion icon Zandra Rhodes never fails to impress us. Showing a history of guest names such as Kate Moss, Kelly Osbourne and the British Royal family, it makes us wonder how she's managed to reach such a broad clientele. But clearly she's a successful lady, as she's managed to stamp her identity on the international world of fashion. In addition to her designer skills, she's also the founder of the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, where she's proving her strong involvement in the future for fellow young colleagues. The museum's aim is partly to celebrate innovative talents within the fashion industry, and help to encourage young designers to bring new ideas. But that isn't enough for Zandra Rhodes; she's now organising the spectacular event "My Favourite Dress Charity Ball" at exclusive Hurlingham Club in Fulham. The event is held on 23 June 2005, and is a collaboration with Rainbow Trust Children Charity. 600 guests are invited to join the fashion-led fundraising party, planned to raise a substantial amount of money for the charity. As the name of the event suggests, guests are encouraged to wear their favourite dresses/outfits, and have a 'right ball'. Well, for £175/head, let's hope the evening turns out that way...
