Style is within the mood and implications of things, and communicates a group of beliefs, histories  and attitudes. Through almost everything that exists, you can trace back an influence of another style that has produced the present thing.

For this project we had to partner-up and My partner and I chose to combine preppy with mid-60s Mod, a style filled with mini-skirts, geometric patterns, and long footwear. Mod style of dress derived from a whole subculture of “modernists,” people who listened to new, emerging jazz, dressed in custom, tailored, working class clothing in the 1950s. This culture notably expanded in the mid-1960s in Great Britain, with live music, pop-art, and bold characteristics in fashion (with doe-eyed, fresh supermodels such as Twiggy).

We began by doing a personal closet inventory and developed a list and sketches of what each outfit would look like. Everything we wore ended up being something from our closet! For the combination photo we chose a brick wall backdrop in order to combine the flatness of the Mod photo and the collegiate infrastructure of the preppy photo.
