Modernist Fashion in SL

Skinheads of the early seventies era were cool, sharp dressed and often emerged as younger siblings of the early sixties modernist. Their music bore little resemblance to the "OI!" brigade of the early eighties, and neither did their outlook on life. This sharp skinhead look is easily replicated in the virtual world and can give a new dimension to the virtual mods fashion brief.

Alongside Fred Perry shirts and braces, a cool jacket and crucially some cut off jeans like these from Lian's Clothing; this look has to have boots preferably replica Doc Martin boots, or very close assimilation's of this iconic skinhead item.

It is not essential to be a skin as we are merely looking to be influenced by the style not immersed in it, so a cool hair style is still okay with this look, and tight shades bring the whole thing together. Grab a fag from the FKNY cigarette set and you are almost there. Cop a mean moody pose and you have a definitive skinhead inspired modernist style.
