Patch Print Folk Blouse from Oasis

Folkprint

Now that the high street's obsession with the early 1960s is passing, trends are moving towards a wider variety of vintage influences. New from Oasis is their 70s Love Story line, channeling Kate Hudson in Almost Famous.

This Patch Print Folk Blouse is one of the more convincing pieces from the line, with the combination of patchwork prints stepping away from more clichéd choices. The chiffon fabric creates the flowing seventies folk silhouette, carrying a print that manages to be structured yet busy.

It's available now from Oasis for £35.

Vicky Scott Retro-Inspired Prints

Normal_60_s_chick 
Illustrator Vicky Scott does a nice line in retro-inspired prints, such as this one, 60s Chick.

Not in the same league by any means as the Shag illustrations, but also not in the same price range as those either, Vicky’s designs offer retro artwork at affordable prices. She lists her influences as 1920s art deco, 60s psychedelia and Art Noveau, which sounds good to me. Her designs are created as handmade paper collages, which are scanned before being printed onto high quality archival paper. Prices start at £25 for small prints. View her collection at her store on Not on the High Street.

Apollo table by Stuart Melrose

Apollo
If you name your table Apollo, you'd almost certainly expect it to have a space age feel. Stuart Melrose's design doesn't disappoint on that front. Its curvy lines, clean white surfaces and tinted glass all give it that distinctive look. 

However, the table has also used more recent developments in construction and unexpected material to create that look. Melrose works with both boat design and roofing technology to create his furniture. It's also made from Corian, a blend of natural materials and acrylic polymer – fittingly invented in the 1960s. 

The tables are individually made to order and are limited to 300 in total. As you may have guessed this all adds up to a pretty hefty price tay. The exact price? £3450.
