The period from 1960 to 1969 was the time of a teenage explosion. As their parents grew more affluent, teenagers found themselves with more money to spend. New music and clothing industries sprang up to cater for their needs. During the sixties, young people were constantly in the news, whether because of fashions such as the miniskirt, pop froups like the Beatles, hippy communes or anti-war demonstrations.

THE SIXTIES looks at this turbulent decade in a new way. The emphasis is on the style of the period and the dramatic social changes that took place, especially in those areas directly concerning young people - music, clothes, the media, leisure, youth culture and style. These are seen against the background of the decade's maijor historical, political and technological events.
