London’s Fashion and Textile Museum is currently hosting a retrospective exhibition spotlighting one of the leading fashion teams of the Sixties - Foale and Tuffin.

After studying together at the Royal College of Art, Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin set up their partnership with just 200 pounds in their pockets, but their boutique in Marlborough Court, off Carnaby Street, became a Mecca for Sixties fashionistas. One of their trademark pieces was the trouser suit, pioneered at a time when it was still unusual for women to wear trousers.

Foale and Tuffin - Made In England not only showcases their designs, but also recreates their boutique, showroom and studio, and is open from 11am to 6pm, Wednesday to Sunday, until 24th February 2010. For ticket prices and further information, please visit www.ftmlondon.org

The images on this page show Marion and Sally outside their boutique, designs for their first collection and Jenny Boyd modelling one of their outfits in 1966. They are reproduced from ‘Foale and Tuffin - The Sixties: A Decade In Fashion’, published by ACC Publishing Group.
