Swinging Britain: Fashion in the 1960s (Shire Library)

The 1960s is one of the most exciting fashion decades of the twentieth century,
where British pop and youth culture created a stylish look that set trends all around
the world. This book reveals how the 1960s British look was inspired by social
changes and championed by innovative new designers like Mary Quant. Their
unconventional designs spread rapidly from small fashionable boutiques on Carnaby
Street to Main Street thanks, in part, to rock stars like The Who, models like Twiggy, and celebrity photographer David Bailey.
