Interactive: Linen Dress, by Foale & Tuffin, 1966
Foale & Tuffin's small headquarters in Marlborough Court became one of London's most fashionable destinations. The two friends were among the most forward looking of London's designers, anticipating trends such as the first trouser suits for women. This dress shows their characteristic attention to detail and finish - qualities not always associated with clothes bought in the Carnaby Street area.
