Zandra Rhodes is first Chancellor of the UCA

The flamboyant fashion designer, Zandra Rhodes, known for her trademark pink hair, has been officially installed as the first Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts (UCA).  She was inaugurated during a colourful ceremony, which included a catwalk show featuring pink-wigged models, last Thursday at Banqueting House in London.  Zandra was clad in a striking pink and green gown with elaborate gold embellishment which she designed for the ceremony.   “I wanted to create something that had the wow factor but remained in keeping with the sense of the occasion,” she explained. “I hope the distinctive colour scheme and intricately designed embroidery puts my own mark on what is usually a subdued, black garment.”  She's probably has started a trend for chancellors.  In her acceptance speech, Zandra said: “It is an enormous honour to become very first Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts, where I began my own studies.   I will make it my utmost priority to ensure that future generations of students continue to have the same positive and inspiring experiences as I did.”   Zandra has a special relationship with UCA, having attended one of its founder institutions, The Medway College of Design, where her mother also taught.  As Chancellor, Zandra will act as the figurehead for the University which has campuses in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester. She will preside at its graduation ceremonies and will be the only other person aside from the Vice-Chancellor with the power to award degrees.
