UK – London – Generation gap in London street

generation war Young women on a shop hoarding with pedestrians and an elderly couple about to cross Brutoin Street in central London. An image of young and older generations is seen at this busy crossing where young women stand to one side, out for a shopping trip along the fashionable and expensive Bond Street. To their left is an elderly couple who stand separated by a wide distance from the girls - a metaphor for the wide generation gap in Britain today. The young girls live in an age of materialism and wealth while the people from their grandparents' era have survived unanticipated hardship, war and technological changes. In the background are the faces and poses of fashion models whose androgynous looks are as different to the elderly as the females along the street.
