Fashioning Mod Twiggy and the moped in ‘swinging’ London
From Haughty to Nice
Along with rock ‘n’ roll, fashion and its visual representations epitomize 1960s “Swinging London.” The 1950s look of aristocratic, haughty grandeur—where the models looked 30, even if they were 20—gave way to the demotic, nice, young look of the 1960s.

Two years later she was living in Paris as Man Ray's mod…
