The In Crowd: Mod Fashion and Style 1958-1966

The In Crowd: Mod Fashion and Style 1958-1966 explores the fashion and style of the mod subculture. The mod movement emerged in the late 1950s and was characterized by its distinctive fashion sense, which included slim-fitting suits, shift dresses, and bold, graphic prints. The exhibition will feature a range of objects from the period, including clothing, accessories, and ephemera, as well as photographs and oral histories from people who were part of the mod scene. The exhibition will examine the social and cultural context of the mod movement, including its roots in jazz and rhythm and blues music, and its relationship to other youth cultures of the time. It will also look at the ways in which the mod style influenced subsequent fashion and youth cultures, and how it continues to be celebrated and referenced today.
