Designing the Decades

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Designing the 70s. In the 1970s, as Britain was gripped by recession, social unrest and industrial decline, designers purveyed nostalgia, futurism and escapist chic. Urbanites aping the semi-rural idyll of The Good Life invested in pine, Laura Ashley clothing and Range Rovers; Norman Foster broke new architectural ground with his Sainsbury Centre; and, in Silver Jubilee year, the DIY aesthetic of punk rock birthed a fashion revolution. Narrated by Penelope Keith.
Director Robin Dashwood ; Series producer Mary Sackville West The classic looks that last: page 39
