MOD street trend
The Mods originated in the 50s in Britain and continued until the early 60s, where they peaked. This subculture rejected the middle class at the time and threw themselves into pop music, all night dancing, and riding scooters, among other things. They were highly interested in fashion, clean simple lines, bright colors, and bold patterns. The A-line mini-dress is synonymous with this time period.
