Coming of Age as a Global Citizen


 Museum of London
After the war, Londoners who were left in the city that was damaged by bombs, aimed for reconstruction. "By 1961, around 33% of Londoners were under 25." 

The London look was a melting pot of different styles. "It brought street style to the catwalk, mixed British traditions with ethnic sensibilities, and valued irreverence, innovation, and wit." 

Between 1950 and 2000 Londoners changed London. From being a city where difference could be looked on with suspicion, London became famous for its diversity. 

 Victoria and Albert Museum
Unlike Karim's costume in The Jungle Book, these costumes in The Lion King were not stereotypical nor revealing. 

This promotion poster for the Sex Pistols used a collage technique with a rebellious edge to attract their fans.
