Foale and Tuffin

Posted on 7:54 PM by ergeg

I'm going to start off with a series of articles on different fashion labels that were apart of the 60's British Boutique Movement.





Fashion Designers Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin met at Walthamstow Art School. They both went on to attend the Royal College of Art.




After graduating in 1961 they opened their own boutique on Carnaby St. and by 1963 they were running a successful business.

They carried mod, fun clothing that was the "in" look.

They collaborated with Mary Quant and Betsey Johnson for the New York boutique, "Paraphernalia."

After 11 years in the fashion business the two separated. Although Marion Foale went on to be a successful name in knitwear.
