MORE INFORMATION
It was the decade that moved on from the austerity of post-war Britain and embraced youth with its flirty fashion, revolutionary designers, edgy photographers and quirky models.
You no longer had to be middle class and middle aged for people to sit up and take notice. Leading lights from the period including David Bailey, Mary Quant and Vidal Sassoon came from ordinary backgrounds and were all in their early twenties as they set the sixties alight with their inspiration.
Taken from the acclaimed BBC2 series, 'Fame, Fashion and Photography: the Real Blow-Up', here are a selection of photographs featuring seminal images from the period.
