  • Due to the space race, it saw a lot of sci-fi films and series get a lot of attention, classics such as Star Trek and Doctor Who were born, it also gave fashion inspiration for more futuristic looks

  • Animation also saw a massive influx, series like Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Top Cat all started in the 60s, paving the way for children's shows, even non-animated series popped up, such as the Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett that are all still watched and recreated today!

  • In 1960s Britain, the mod culture started to erupt thanks to music like The Who, it created a whole new look in fashion

  • Art was starting to directly reflect on interiors and design, such as Mondrian's minimalist artwork
