Let's talk about this sub-culture from the late 50's to the early 60's!
"Mod" is a short name for Modernism contrasting with "Trad", Traditional,
referring to the modern jazz movement in the late 50's.
The movement started in London, but quickly spray. At the beginning,
The "Mod" jazz fans and players were dressed up in tailored costumes,
with very strong influences from French cinema "Nouvelle Vague" as well as Italian tailoring and fashion for men.

The "Mod" style for men:
Often composed with tailored suits, shirts or polos and ties in classic colors, sometimes with the pants little shorter to let the socks be seen.

One of the most famous Mod designer was John Stephen, well known as
"the man who made Carnaby Street"
he got this nick name after opening the first "His Clothes" shop in Carnaby street, London
where he was selling his own designs. The notoriety of John Stephen explode after a series of articles in the "Daily Mail" entitled "How To Look Mod".
