Sixties Fashion: The Teenage Revolution (TRIH ep 363, part 1)
1957 · Resource
Hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook trace the rise of British fashion from wartime austerity to the global prominence of Swinging London in the 1960s. They explain how the monochrome, utilitarian clothes of the Second World War and postwar rationing (1941–1949) set the scene for reactions such as Christian Dior's New Look in 1947 and subsequent shifts.
