Every now and again, I come across videos that truly make me smile from ear to ear, and the 100 Years of Style in 100 Seconds clip is exactly one of those. The short film depicts 10 decades of [East London style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kotn-fw-2024-collection), so it should come as no surprise that the video is extremely fast-paced, making it that much more fun.

The 100 Years of Style in 100 Seconds video was created by Westfield Stratford City, which will have its grand opening on Tuesday, Sept. 13 and will become [London's largest shopping center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-live). If you're looking for some good, old fashioned (and new fashioned) fun, this video is exactly the pick-me-up you need. How many of these styles have you tried on for size yourself?
