When you think Zandra Rhodes, the last thing that comes to mind is afternoon tea. Known for her pink (previously green) hair, her formative punk designs and her vivid prints, the legendary British designer is famous for rocking the boat. But such was the setting for our meet up last week in Toronto, while she was in town to promote her upcoming collection for Colebrooke by Windsmoor, the plus size contemporary line carried in Canada carried exclusively at Hudson’s Bay. After chatting about her recent escapades to Malaysia, we went for the juicy stuff inside the bag she carries from her self-named label. Flip through our gallery for the treasures.

“This bag with the flower on it has my camera in it. I carry a digital camera because I don’t like to use a phone to take photos.”

“When I leave London they always put security tags on my passports and I just leave them on. You can see I travel a lot.”
“I also carry these fantastic Maybelline lip pencils because they don’t run and they’re a good price.”
