The NeoMods draw their influences widely and one movement that has impacted on the NeoMods setting them aside from the classic sixties modernists is the casual movement of the early to mid-nineteen eighties. Its often cited that the casual's fashion creed grew out of continental football trips as fans raided continental sports and fashion stores. It was the birth of label fashion, possessing the correct label trainers, track tops sweaters etc. Names such as Fila and Sergio Tachinni became iconic fashion items and were absorbed into modernist culture, the labels and styling is viewed both in terms of casual football fan fashion and also aesthetically pleasing to the sixties inspired NeoMods.The virtual NeoMod has a huge array of items to choose from if following a casual's trend. Some borrow from real life labels while others are well established virtual brands stocking a huge array of track tops and trainers.
In this snap Albion wears a cool pair of jeans from Punk/Rock label Little Britain. Displaying modernist icons and slogan the jeans take the casual jeans ethos a step further, but modernist must never shirk from setting the trend. That should always be the aim, not merely to follow in the footsteps of others. The jeans are paired with a cool track top item from Soreal, which comes with scripted prim attachments and is beautifully styled. The top comes in two colous blue or brown; and also with or without the print of ERII. The virtual mod would do well to explore these stores for other items that draw from both modernist and casual fashions as they begin to deveklop their virtual modernist style.
