British Mod Revival

The British Mod Revival was a music and fashion movement in the late 1970s that resurrected the style and sounds of the 1960s Mod subculture. Originating in the UK, it emphasized sharp dressing, appreciation for soul, R&B, and French pop music, along with a youthful desire for modernity and individuality. Bands like The Jam and The Style Council led the movement, blending energetic guitar-driven music with a distinctive fashion sense characterized by tailored suits, parkas, and Vidal Sassoon hairstyles. The revival celebrated both musical innovation and distinctive style, influencing youth culture and fashion trends during that era.
