Lynn Barber and Zandra Rhodes talk to Rebecca Jones

Lives in Art and Fashion

Hay Festival 2025, 

Spend a stylish afternoon in the company of two of Britain’s most dynamic lovers of art. Journalist Lynn Barber, whose memoir An Education inspired a Nick Hornby film starring Carey Mulligan, and whose new book is A Little Art Education, shares stories of how she went from a curious outsider to finding her place among some of the most admired artists of the last 100 years.

Fashion designer Zandra Rhodes shares her life story for the first time in her memoir Iconic: My Life in Fashion in 50 Objects. She talks about the stories behind some of the mementos she’s collected over the years. Rhodes has been a leading figure of the fashion industry for over five decades, celebrating her 50th year in fashion in September 2019 with a retrospective exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, which she founded.
