So this is a pretty old exhibition visit. I completely forgot I had pictures for this exhibition because I was so awfully busy with Uni that me blogging anything flew out the window. I had included this research in the early stages of my dissertation preparation, which was useful. 

This is the POP! Design, Culture, Fashion Exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in 2012. This exhibition explores how much of a revolutionary impact music, art and fashion made during one of the most iconic eras of the 50s, 60s and 70s. A new wave of rock 'n' roll and youth culture emerged in the 1950s America, which took the country by storm. There was a combination of popular images, music, art and fashion that made history and changed the way people dressed, as well as pushing the boundaries of commerce, culture and style. The 60s era saw the cool stylings of the Mods, the high baroque of Psychedelia and the kitsch glamour of 70s retro by designers such as Mr Freedom and Miss Mouse. 

Foale and Tuffin: Fashion designers of the Sixties.

There was an exhibition I went to at the Fashion & Textile Museum about a two years ago from now, which I instantly loved, it was just amazing and made me fall in love with the 60s! It's my favourite era :-). So this is quite a long post, rammed with pictures, pictures and more pictures :-)

Foale and Tuffin were one of the most influential designers of the 60s and their label was what girls wanted to wear - pop art inspired mini-dresses and trend-setting trouser suits etc. they were designed the young, which only the young could wear and not their mums. Most importantly it was cheap and affordable. Foale and Tuffin both played a part in changing the London scene, almost like a rebellious era.
