A Tale of Two Streets: King’s Road & Carnaby Street

WHEN:

Thu May 16th 2019
Ended

WHERE:

London

WHAT:

Join Alistair O'Neill from Central Saint Martins at the Fashion and Textile Museum to learn about the pivotal role played by Carnaby Street and King's Road in defining 1960s Swinging London.

Mary Quant’s Bazaar at 138a King’s Road and John Stephen's shop at 5 Carnaby Street were retail experiments in catering to a young, like-minded clientele and they established a blueprint for the fashion boutique as a new kind of retail space. The notoriety and success of these businesses turned both streets into shopping destinations for those keen to sign-up for youthquake.
