The late 1960s was a revolutionary time for music as well as politics. The
V&A's new exhibition covers the fast-changing period from 1966-1970. From global civil rights, multiculturalism, environmentalism, consumerism and computing and community, to neo-liberal politics,
You Say You Want a Revolution?... investigates the upheaval, the explosive sense of freedom, and the legal changes that took place during this period, resulting in a fundamental shift in the mindset of the Western world.
More than 350 objects encompassing photography, posters, literature, music, design, film, fashion, artifacts and performance that defined the counterculture will illustrate the way that a whole generation shook off the confines of the past and their parents, radically revolutionising the way they lived their lives.

Feeling inspired by this exhibition we discovered lots of stand-out pieces from the swinging sixties at
Vintage Modes.
