3. M
od was more than a fashion statement; it was
a lifestyle. The youth of the 60s left behind the
old 50s Britain for a new look. They created
their own style that made them feel unique and
modern. Mod affected everything from fashion to music. It
also influenced where they went and how they got there.
The term mod came from a youth movement of well dressed,
fashion conscious men who listened to ‘modern jazz’. They
called themselves ‘modernists’, later known as ‘mod’. Jazz
was great, but the youth needed something they could
dance to. This lead to the rise of soul and RnB on the mod
scene.
Style was influenced by 50s America, and mixed with Italian
and Spanish fashion. The mod teens wanted to move
away from traditional British style. An example of this is
the ‘demob’ suit. It was baggy. It only came in grey. It was
something their parents would wear. Instead, the mods had
their suits fitted with shorter lapels.

style that made them feel
unique and modern”

4. MUSIC DURING THE
MOD ERA
D
uring the 60s, the mod subculture was associated with
Soul, Ska and RnB music. It perfectly matched the
era’s sleek and edgy style. Before the mods became
exceedingly popular they had developed an interest in
Jazz and Blues from the time spent in various coffee bars around
London. As the mods communities grew, the music genres
associated with them became broader. Their love of blues led
them towards RnB. While the rockers community subsided, more
people were drawn to the mod culture. They began connecting
with Rock n Roll bands. The Who and The Kinks became some of
the most influential bands of all time.
Big Britpop bands, Oasis and Blur took influence from what the
artists and bands curated in the 60s mod era. They replicated
similar tones to their own modern music. Even in the noughties,
the mods were still having a significant influence on emerging
rock and indie music. Bands and artists, Miles Kane, Jake Bugg
and The Arctic Monkeys have become highly successful. Today
people are still enjoying and reminiscing over the sounds of the
rebellious era.
More recently, there has been a comeback of
vinyl. It was one of the most popular ways to play
music back in the 60s. With the revival of bands
and artists like Noel Gallagher and mod trends in
fashion, no wonder the love of vinyl has increased.
Sometimes it’s better to be a little nostalgic instead
of immersing ourselves into the mainstream.
“The magic that music
creates can be lost in
the digital world.”
People are starting to appreciate the authenticity
a record holds. It’s something you can cherish and
physically touch. An old fashioned way to play music.
It holds a more important place in someone’s heart
than a simple download. The magic that music
creates can be lost in the digital world. Placing a
record on a turntable makes it more real for the
listener. It gives them a stronger connection with
the music, rather than pressing play on a piece of
advanced technology.

5. REMODIFY YOUR STYLE
D
uring the mod era, women who had previously
been shunned by the male-dominant culture
began to create their own fashion status within
society. Carnaby Street in London was one of the
first shopping destinations to introduce fashion boutiques,
catering primarily to teenage girls and young women. After
the rise in these boutiques, the fashion started to spread
rapidly. Then, female mod fashion started to emerge
especially in clubs and on the streets in day to day life.
Hemlines were gradually shortened and the mini skirt was
born. The mini skirt became an iconic piece in London,
popular among female mod fashionistas within young
fashion culture. Flat shoes were seen in Vogue, as were
trousers which weren’t as common with women at the time.
Whilst trying to achieve the look of Twiggy, girls
complimented the mini skirt with short and neat
haircuts, natural makeup paired with false eyelashes.
This was unlike the male influences of the era who
adorned with black eye shadow, eye pencil and
lipstick.

Social trends dictate fashion and in the 40s this couldn’t
be more evident. The outbreak of war in Britain caused
lifestyles to suddenly change. Men were sent away to fight
for their country while women stepped up to help out on
the home front. Elongated gowns of the 30s faded out of
fashion and were replaced by suited jackets.
1940’s MILITARY
40s trends for women contain elements of gingham, utility
and bolero jackets. Tory Burch’s collection features a
perfect, buttoned jacket with wide shoulders mimicking this
era. For men, 40s vintage trends included oversized jackets
with uniform badges in tan, khaki and black. Alexander
Wang and Balmain’s SS16 menswear campaigns focused
on this uniform trend. Go against the rules of bright spring/
summer colours.

ew season – new trends. Mod, 90s denim and military
styles are back in fashion this spring. REBEAT!
went on a Southampton street style venture to find
the best looks of the season. These are the most
inspirational, quirky and fun looks for ss16 that you’ll have to try.
HATS
Hats have been popular for quite some time and they’re
not going away. Fedoras, bowlers and bucket hats are super
trendy this spring. The bowler is a timeless accessory. It
can give a fun vibe to everyday outfits. (And hides a bad
hair day perfectly – thank heavens!) A perfect addition to a
casual outfit.

MIX OLD AND NEW
WITH PAIGE JOANNA
Get inspired to fuse vintage fashion with modern trends
A
petite girl with a passion for all things sentimental, Paige Joanna
tells us how to get her vintage look!
Paige takes inspiration from her style icons, Kate Bush and Hayley
Williams. She mixes an iconic red lip with whimsical hair to get the vintage
look. Originally from Portsmouth, the 24-year-old moved to London to
pursue her dream job in the fashion industry.
Now blogging for four years, her YouTube channel has received over
58,000 views across all of her videos. As well as blogging, she enjoys
making DIY’s and has over 25k followers on Pinterest alone.
What do you love about your idols?
I love Kate for her whimsical hair, floaty dresses and matching
suits. Hayley is like the punk rocker I always wanted to be; I feel if
you mix them together you would get my ideal style.
Do they inspire your look?
I definitely share elements of their styles but I don’t directly copy
them. I feel like combining vintage styling with modern trends is
the best way to gain a girly and preppy look.
Any style tips for our readers?
For a vintage look it really depends what people are comfortable
with. A plaid jacket is a vintage essential. Red lipstick, floral prints
and knitwear can work really well.
"It’s great to buy vintage fashion when
on a budget. You could spend little
money and be the only one wearing
something like it."
