The Mod fashion movement (short for "Modernist") was a British youth subculture that emerged in the late 1950s and peaked in the mid-1960s. It was defined by an obsession with fashion, music (modern jazz, rhythm & blues, soul, ska), and a sophisticated, sharp, and clean-lined aesthetic that rejected post-war austerity and traditional British class norms.
