An archaeologist reviews Zandra Rhodes

While all we can think about is what everyone wore at the Met Gala in New York, I’m writing a short blog about frocks. And why, if I was still editing British Archaeology magazine, I would’ve liked to have interviewed Zandra Rhodes.

Quotes by Mike Pitts (?)

“because if he found the church, I could look for the grave. And if I found the grave, he’d found the church. So we kind of did it on that basis.’ Putting it like that, if she found the grave, whether or not they found the church seemed not really to matter.”
