About this episode

Model Naomi Shimada speaks to one of her personal fashion icons for the Beauty Fix finale.

Dame Zandra Rhodes has designed flowing kaftans and killer frocks for rock stars and royalty since 1969, from Grace Jones to Alicia Keyes, Princess Diana to Paris Hilton, from Queen to The Queen.

And she’s still standing out from the crowd at 80, rocking a bright pink bob and even brighter make-up. Zandra shares her timeless tips for sustainable style and for reinventing your look in lockdown.
