Some believe Generation X will be regarded as the greatest generation of all time - we think it's certainly the coolest.
Generation X was born between 1965 and 1980, arriving just in time to see the world turn from black & white to colour. It's a pivotal age group that was touched briefly by the previous age of post-war industrial grime, plain food and heritage attitudes to things like sexuality and personal hygiene.

Generation X has always been at the forefront of new trends in fashion and technology. Now the coolest generation of all time has a new frontier of anti-ageing to explore.
Gen X will probably be the last generation to remember when humans were limited to a natural health span and lifespan.
