The 1960s mod movement originated in London, characterized by its distinctive fashion, music, and lifestyle. Mods embraced sharp, tailored clothing, often featuring bold patterns and bright colors. Popular items included mini skirts, parka jackets, and Chelsea boots. The movement was closely associated with the rise of British rock bands like The Who and The Kinks, who influenced the mod culture through their music and style. The mod lifestyle also emphasized a love for scooters, particularly Vespas and Lambretta, which became symbols of the movement. Mods often frequented clubs and dance halls, where they showcased their fashion and enjoyed the latest R&B and soul music. The mod subculture represented a youthful rebellion and a desire for individuality during a time of significant social change.
