Sixties Fashion is on at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from 6 June – December 2006:
"40 years after Time Magazine’s famous 1966 ‘Swinging London’ cover, the V&A explores the Swinging Sixties. The display looks at the influence of Mary Quant on other designers who retailed in Carnaby Street and the Kings Road, including designs by Jean Muir, Ossie Clark and Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba. Iconic pieces by Paco Rabanne, Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent will represent responses of the Paris couturiers."
