A/W 1981 Zandra Rhodes "Elizabethan Collection" Lame Gown designer-christian-lacroix Item# DD2042The Zandra Rhodes Renaissance, or Gold Collection, of 1981 was inspired by "the combination of the royal wedding, historic dress from the Elizabethan period, and panniers from the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection of historic costume..
