In the 1960s Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin were two feisty girls who joined forces to become Foale and Tuffin, a fashion label that embodied Swinging Sixties London. With a boutique off Carnaby Street and a customer list that included Queen of the Mods Cathy McGowan and It-model Jean Shrimpton, Foale and Tuffin were at the centre of the Youthquake phenomenon that would change the face of fashion and shopping.

This small display, to coincide with the publication of Foale and Tuffin. The Sixties. A Decade in Fashion by Iain R Webb, aims to illustrate how, like many fashion designers, the duo reworked certain themes and fabrics throughout their career.
