Mods:
“The mods started in England in the 1960s among the street savvy youth interested in rock-and-roll music. To differentiate themselves from the conservative adult culture, they favored vintage and colorful outfits, accessorized with long hair.“ [1] “Color played a big role in defining the look. The muted and pastel palette of Fifties fashions gave way to bright, bold color often splayed in geometric patterns. Art, usually Pop Art, infiltrated fashion as works of art translated from canvas into fabric.” [2]
