Mods
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_(subculture)
“Mod is a subculture that began in London in 1958 and spread throughout Great Britain and
elsewhere, eventually influencing fashions and trends in other countries,[1] and continues
today on a smaller scale. Focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a
small group of stylish London-based young men in the late 1950s who were termed
modernists because they listened to modern jazz.[2] Elements of the mod subculture
include fashion (often tailor-made suits); music (including soul, ska, and R&B); and motor
scooters (usually Lambretta or Vespa). The original mod scene was associated with
amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs”

Hippies
https://allthatsinteresting.com/a-brief-history-of-hippies

Originally taken from ‘Hipster’, the term ‘hippie’ was used to describe beatniks who found
their technicolor heart in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco; children of the road
who believed they should make love, not war.Their vocal opposition to the United States’
involvement in the Vietnam War and the increasingly rocky road to shared civil rights
among all Americans led to this new, alternative form of activism.

Mary Quant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Quant

She became an instrumental figure in the 1960s London-based Mod and youth fashion
movements.She was one of the designers who took credit for the miniskirt and hotpants,
and by promoting these and other fun fashions she encouraged young people to dress to
please themselves and to treat fashion as a game.[5][6] Ernestine Carter, an authoritative
and influential fashion journalist of the 1950s and 1960s,[ wrote: "It is given to a fortunate
few to be born at the right time, in the right place, with the right talents. In recent fashion
there are three: Chanel, Dior, and Mary Quant."

Mini dress

By 1966 Mary Quant was producing short waist skimming mini dresses and skirts that were
set 6 or 7 inches above the knee. It would not be right to suggest she invented the fashion
mini skirt. In 1965 she took the idea from the 1964 designs by Courrèges and liking the
shorter styles she made them even shorter for her boutique Bazaar. She is rightly credited
with making popular a style that had not taken off when it made its earlier debut.

Much of the psychedelia of the 1960s owes its style to an Art Nouveau revival inspired by
milestone exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and at the MoMA in New
York in the 1950s.
