In April 1966,Time Magazine dubbed
London the capital of 'Swing'. It was a name that stuck, and London quickly became synonymous with all things cool, from film and pop music to boutiques and fashion. The
swinging sixties' design icons were Mary Quant's mini skirt and Alec Issigonis's Mini, but in every way this was a time when people lived life to the max - a period of optimism and hedonism after the dark austerity of the war years.

Carnaby Street was the epicentre of this cultural revolution, and was the breeding ground for trendsetting top models such as Twiggy, who rapidly became international stars. Women (and men) let their hair down, and flower power, spurred on by bands such as the Beatles, became the order of the day. It was the birth of the modern world.
In this Olympic year, the Princess of Hanover has chosen London as the theme for the 2012 Monaco Rose Ball. For one exhilarating night, Monaco will recreate the psychedelic and frenzied ambience of the London of the 1960s, in an explosion of colour and excitement.
