NeoMod


What are neoMods?

NeoMods draw their fashion influences from the original sixties modernist movement supplementing it with seventies skins, eighties revivalism [with its ska and rude boy influences], acid jazz and the casuals plus contemporary style that tweaks the modernist look. Overall the style is modernist it merely incorporates items unavailable or perhaps discarded by the original mods.

The look is classic suits, leather coats, button down shirts, sweaters, polo's, trainers [sneakers], jeans et al. Its an amalgamation of several youth cultures intertwined by music and fashion. A more fluid approach than core modernists but still holding true to the belief of style and substance.

NeoMods are merely the evolution of the styles of sixties, seventies and eighties into a coherent fashion statement. Iconic neoModernist the Modfather Paul Weller is the embodiment of everything neoMod.
