More old suits, this time from SF Design.
The early sixties mods wore quite dark coloured suits, excepting the occassional splash of white, it was the cut of the suit rather than the colours that seperated their fashion inspiration from that of their fathers. However as the decade progressed and the fashions grew more decadent and the young more daring colours got bolder and fashions more extreme.
The two suits from SF Designs illustrate this perfectly, the cut is almost identical but the colours and shirts are radically different clearly indicating that there has been a change in fashion possibilities. The black ruffled shirt makes a good foil for the startling pinkness of the suit and is reminiscent of the mid sixties modernists look before it was lost in a hippy haze; whereas the older styling of the brown suit with the button down green shirt is of an early sixties stamp. The black shirt is from an SF Design gothic costume, and the green shirt from the Unknown Boutique, shoes from FKNY.
Male mod fashion is difficult to find, and these two old suits are no longer available [why the feck you showing them then...there is other similar stuff out there, and the store has newer cool modernist styled stuff] but if your adaptable and purchase multi layerd clothing that can mix and match modernist fashion does exist, its just trickier than being a leather bound metal head, but infinitely cooler!
