Visit the Swinging 60s
Discover the decade that gave us British icons Twiggy and The Beatles, as well as the queen of swinging London, Mary Quant and her cool designs for Sirdar. From minis to maxis, explore the sixties styles that continue to influence fashion design today.
Matching Two Piece
The smart aesthetic of the Mods and the matching suits of 60s bands like the Beatles ensured the enduring popularity of suits and matching separates throughout the decade.
This trend extended to knitwear with Sirdar creating stylish knitted two piece designs with clean modern lines and block colours.
Mini Skirts
60s fashion mirrored the sweeping social change of the era. Hemlines rose dramatically.
Through her Kings Road boutique, ‘Bazaar’ Mary Quant popularised the mini skirt, which has remained a fashion must-have ever since.
New Boutiques like Bazaar, on London’s Kings Road and Carnaby Street became the epicentre of a fashion revolution.
