Whether it's Sixties Fashion at the V&A or lofty debates about brutalist architecture on Radio 3, there's no denying the sixties is swinging, albeit rather gently, again.

For a dash of 60s compact living a la 2006 may we recommended a visit to Moormann for nifty little storage ideas. After the real deal? Then bookmark Fears and Kahn for original 60s furnishings and objets d'art. Shift frocks from Burberry, Lanvin, and Giles have spawned many a high street copy, but for those craving authenticity try Beyond Retro and Pop Boutique.

And it seems the 60s are set to stay in vogue - for a while anyway.

There's an exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery celebrating the 40th anniversary of Antonioni's iconic film Blow-Up. Meanwhile, Bath's Museum of Costume will be displaying designs by John Bates, best known for his slinky Avengers outfits; while from today the National Portrait Gallery is devoting its balcony space to images of little known pop/guitar outfit The Beatles.

All is groovy again it seems.
