Mod Variations…
She identified herself as a Mod and him as a Skin. Although, after talking to him for a while I would technically identify him as what was starting to be called a “hard mod” by the mid-sixties, which in turn morphed into what became known as Suedeheads as the fashion conscious skinheads started to let their hair grow out, at least long enough to pull a comb through it. Later on they became known as “Smooths”.
Thanks for the fashion history lesson. Love to hear more tidbits.
ReplyDeleteWell he has fantastic shoes. They look like stained mahogany in leather form.
ReplyDeleteI love her look. The boots and sleek hair style are perfectly mod but not dated at all.
ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeletethe pics are of me and my b/f paul, thanks for all your lovely comments, we'd both had no sleep that day and were in a silly mood messing about down carnaby street, whenever we go I always ask him to chase me down carnaby street as the road was well known in the late 70's and 80's as a hangout for mods and skins (who at the time hated each other) and paul has the scars to prove it! altho i was too young at the time so missed out,in fact paul was a mod until age about 15 when he got fed up with being beaten up by skins so took a pair of dog clippers to his head and bought a pair of doc martins and has been a skinhead since,but the scene is so small now that we all have to be friends!
nice to meet you and your friend robert...
keep the faith...
