Among the annals of vintage fashion there are a few names which are responsible for shaping the face of the sixties. One of these is undeniably Betsey Johnson, part of the youthquake scene and mate of Andy Warhol.

The lady’s got style, and is thankfully still hitting catwalks with her signature designs. All of her collections are undeniably influenced by her ’60s roots, and they look stunning for it.

These Octagon Lens sunglasses are simply fantastic, retailing at $85. Check out Betsey’s recent catwalk show for her Beat Chick collection online too.

To celebrate its 35th birthday, Monsoon has just launched the Heritage Collection. The collection comprises of original pieces inspired by Monsoon prints and designs from the 1970s.

This includes the Bombay dress (pictured here), made from 100% silk and costing £85, a smock of the same fabric for £65, a silk maxi dress (also £85) and a white cotton-silk mix tunic (again for £65). There are also two vests on sale on the website as part of this collection, but they aren’t particularly interesting.

The collection can be viewed online at the Monsoon website.

Is there a better colour in women’s clothing than vintage cream? Perhaps it’s just me, but every time I see a rich cream colour on any item of clothing I fall for it.

Such was the case when I clapped eyes on this Nanette Lepore Bohemian Bow coat. This designer number has a little something sixties, with a modern twist thrown in for good measure. A great coat for the months entering Spring, I particularly love the oversized buttons and the extremely flattering cut and length.

As with all designer, this will cost you a pretty penny at $540 from Shopbop.

Court shoes come in so many incarnations its hard to find a pair that are just right. Thankfully there’s been a spate of great retro inspired heeled courts on the high street of late, with Mary Janes are T-bars becoming firm favourites again.

These Venet bar courts from Schuh are another example of a design classic. The big button strap and mid heel height are a great nod to the classic vintage look of the 1940s. Perfect to team with a forties tea dress, these will make a cute and versatile addition to any wardrobe.

They’ll set you back £49.99 in store or online.

What more could you want than your girl to match your scooter, eh? This retro dress is super cute and very Mod, and surprisingly it isn’t vintage.

From the Mod Clothin online store, this dress is a one off available in a UK size 12. As you can plainly see its an A-line mini so its a very faithful 60s style.

The site has tons of other vintage and retro finds for men and women to check out as well.
