TALIA MAGUIRE The famous feud between Mods and Rockers - the two most iconic British youth subcultures of our time - has been a constant source of inspiration and sartorial nostalgia, as many of the key trends are recycled season upon season. From the humble Parker to the dirty Doc Marten boots, a certain spirit lives on in these iconic items that still manages to conjure memories of those conflicting times. Thankfully we’ve long since said farewell to the infamous brawls, yet the air of individuality and rebellion that oozed from those 60s teens remains to this day; being passed down the generations via the music and clothes of the era, resulting in today’s mass production of an extremely profitable image.
