About

Mod (modernist) was a youth subculture born in late-1950s London and crystallising through 1963-1967 around scooters, Carnaby Street boutiques, R&B and soul music, and the silhouette-driven design of Mary Quant. The look prioritises geometry: A-line shift dresses, mini-skirts (Quant is variously credited with inventing them), bold colour-block prints, Op Art monochrome, polo necks tucked into pinafores, knee-high boots, low-heeled mary-jane pumps, sharply tailored shift coats. Hair is bobbed or pixie-cropped (Vidal Sassoon's Five Point Cut). Twiggy's androgynous, large-eyed silhouette became the global emblem; Edie Sedgwick was the American Mod analogue. The aesthetic resurfaces in cyclical Sixties revival waves.

Not 70s Boho — Mod is graphic urban tailoring of the Sixties (A-line, geometry, mini); 70s Boho is flowing rural-romantic of the Seventies (fringe, prairie, suede).
