(UK, US, plural, plural-only) An often nostalgic name for the 1960s.
[Mary] Quant's happy perpetuation of the mythology is hardly surprising as she was part of the Chelsea Set, a group of creative entrepreneurs consisting mostly of upper-class artists, photographers and writers such as Alexander Plunckett-Green and Nell Dunn, who together with (American) mass media such as Time Magazine (scrutinized in Chapter 4), dreamt up what we now conceive of as the Swinging Sixties.
