mod fashions, carnaby street, london 1966

Art 247

We never knew studs in clothes could look quite so wonderful until we stumbled on this picture of London’s Carnaby Street in 1966, the center of mod at the time. (If you’re tempted, Studs and Spikes has all you’ll need to get going.)

Here are The Kinks singing their 1966 hit,  Dedicated Follower of Fashion.

   Since I’m reading Keith Richards’ autobiography, this goes along quite well! Thanks for the fantastic links –

   It’s a nice shot, they look like a parallelogram among four equiangular “V”‘s with the two guy V’s at the ends carrying an invisible rod almost perpendicular, checking the angles.
