This colour film from the 1960s has been remastered into very good quality video. It was filmed at various trendy locations and shopping districts, as well as some famous tourist sites. Obviously intended to show the new fashions of the day, and the contrast with the older people who were still dressed as if it was the 1950s. It’s an easy watch of around 8 minutes.

They were certainly more obsessed with fashion back then, Robbie. Now it is all hoodies, leggings, and T-shirts.
Best wishes, Pete.

Agreed, it’s nice when people take pride in their appearance and leggings suit very few people.

Fashion always goes in circles. What we once laughed at becomes the latest ‘must have’. 🙂

I remember the Ravel shoe shop – there was one in Chrisp Street market. I used to look in the window on the way to school every morning at all the shoes I couldn’t have.

They started out as Raoul Shoes, and later changed their name to Ravel. It was where we bought our tassel loafers in my Junior Mod days. 🙂

I don’t remember Raoul Shoes. Did you have a Vespa as well?

No, I was too young for a Vespa. Then when I was 17 I went straight to a car. I did learn to ride a motorbike in my late twenties, so I could commute to work in the Ambulance Service. I had a few different motorbikes, and eventually bought a Yamaha Scooter that I kept until 2000 when I moved back into Central London..

“Love Is All You Need.” That and a camera to document the ’60s. And to think that these young hipsters (the ones that are still alive) are now in their 70’s and 80’s…

I was 15, and still wearing suits and ties, Liz. I wouldn’t have worn any of that flamboyant stuff. 🙂

Interesting to remember what we looked like! Can’t say I was ever a fan of the styles. I am struck by how thin people were and many of them seem tall…or am I imagining that. The streets were very crowded. It was obviously one of England’s warm periods! The other thing I noticed is that there appear to be no foreigners. I also think people move differently now but maybe that’s because we are fatter! Always good to look back.

The young fashionistas were slim, and well-known models coming to prominence made many young women self-aware. There was almost no fast food either, save for Wimpy Bars and fish and chip shops. Most of the clothing was ridiculous to me, as I still wore 3-piece suits and a tie when out socially. But I was a ‘Soul Boy’, and ‘Junior Mod’, so that was my uniform of sorts.
Best wishes, Pete.

I was 15 then, so if I had been 30, I would be 85 now. (Probably dead though.)
