The zany, zigzagging aesthetic of legendary British punk fashion designer Zandra Rhodes takes center stage at HGO. The company presents Bizet’s Pearl Fishers (Jan. 25-Feb. 8) with colorful, bejeweled costumes and sets designed by the hot-pink-haired Rhodes, who previously worked with HGO on Aida. She will release a memoir in 2019, recalling adventures in dressing icons like Princess Di and Freddie Mercury.
