With the birth of rock’n’roll in the 1950s came the Teds, who rejected the dull, functional clothes of their parents’ generation. Teddy boys wore knee-length coats, with velvet or satin cuffs and collars, and pointed suede shoes. The most distinctive feature of this look was the quaff, which was created by combing the hair back and holding it in position with hair cream. Teddy girls wore circular skirts, white fitted shirts, and scarves tied around their necks.
Emerging in the 1960s, young working-class Mads (originally short for “Moderns”) tended to wear smart Italian-designed suits, polo shirts, and have neat haircuts. They rode Vespa motor scooters. Young Mod women abandoned the traditional ladylike fashions of the 1950s and instead chose tight sweaters and mini-skirts.
Skinheads, or Skins appeared in the late 1960s. They had a strict dress code consisting of a shaved head, turned-up jeans, braces, and Doctor Marten boots. Skins were strongly influenced by the styles of West Indian immigrants to the UK and listened to ska and reggae music.
In the mid-1970s the punks arrived. For many, Johnny Rotten, lead singer of the Sex Pistols, personified punk’s anarchic and provocative image with his spiky hair, black boots, and torn clothes held together with safety-pins. Although punks considered themselves anti-fashion, the look was in fact masterminded by the band’s manager Malcolm McLaren and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who ran a clothes shop together on the King’s Road in London.
