One of the critical elements of unforgettable style is embracing your fashion identity. Each person has their unique taste and preferences when it comes to clothing. Instead of following every trend, focus on discovering what makes you feel confident and comfortable.

Mod culture has been around since the early 1960s, and it highly influenced fashion and music. There are aspects of this culture that are still popular in today’s society, which just hammers it home that mod clothing really made its mark. While mod culture spread to most demographics of people, it stemmed from being associated with working-class men. This particular band of people had lifestyle characteristics that decided the type of clothes they wore and the style they upheld.
Now that we’ve established that this clothing style still has a strong influence on some aspects of today’s clothing let’s delve into what mod clothing is defined as. Mod fashion was synonymous with working-class young men when it was formed, and due to the stereotypical lifestyle of the young men that are wearing the clothes, they needed to be fairly hard-wearing and durable.
Mod fashion and style of clothing were typically derived from clothing that was worn in the 1950s. Sharp dress shirts and dapper outfits were key to the look of the mod group. Mods rebelled against middle-class values by riding scooters instead of cars and listening to soul music instead of rock ‘n’ roll.
The actual look of mods ranged from t-shirts with band names across to button-down shirts with skinny ties worn over jeans. Tensions rose between the Rockabilly group, and they were known as being rivals of each other.
For women, the fashion was clearly separate from other groups by its recognisable makeup, which included thick eyeliner and thick mascara. Mini skirts were the foundation of a proper mod outfit, and pixie cuts made their way into fashion due to the mod trends. Opposite to the ‘50s, the ‘60s were all about hiding the waist by wearing shift dresses that brushed over women’s curves.
Great Britain
Great Britain was the home of mod culture, so it would seem remiss not to include them in the list of countries that nailed mod fashion. Mod fashion heavily influenced fashion for decades, and we can still see the influences in clothing today. Pieces such as miniskirts were made all the rage during the mod movement, and these will forever be in fashion. Thanks, Twiggy!
Mod fashion was seen in popular culture and impacted dressing in films. Celebrities were also known to adopt the mod style, and this found itself in mainstream fashion amongst boutiques and vintage clothing stores.
Once the mod style was popular in Great Britain, it also made its way into America. Groups of young people adopted and copied the look, so it became a country with a strong mod influence. However, it was made popular in a different way in London. In London, it was a strong sub-group of society, with people either a part of it or on the outside of it. It was a culture seriously protected by its members. On the other hand, in America, mod fashion became more synonymous with general youth style. It became more blended into general fashion, as against a fierce sub-group.
French young people made their own mod look which included straw boater hats and huge sunglasses. The huge sunglasses would also hide any dark circles from late-night partying that the mod youths might be getting up to.
Mod fashion was an iconic genre that created a shift in the way young people dressed. It made a clear subculture that had a fierce membership that made distinguishing those who weren’t in the group from those who were very easy. Mod clothing also had a heavy influence on other country’s fashion and made waves in the fashion industry that would be impactful forever.
Isle of Wight singer-songwriter Lauran Hibberd has released a new single, ‘Honda Civic’. The track comes with an accompanying video by Jack Lilley, which you can check out below.
“I would like to start by saying no other car manufacturers were hurt during this process”, Hibberd said in a statement. “‘Honda Civic’ is a middle finger to anyone I’ve ever dated, anyone I’ve ever thought about dating, and anyone that I potentially ever will date in the future. This song feels like a heavy, well landed jump back into releasing music after putting out my debut record ‘Garageband Superstar’ last year. Everyone always says this, but I actually mean it. I’m writing the best songs I’ve ever written right now. I feel different. I hope people listen to ‘Honda Civic’ and feel stronger, almost like biting the finger off of your dentist kind of strong.”
Hibberd’s debut album, Garageband Superstar, came out last year.
I Inside the Old Year Dying was born from heartbreak, though perhaps not the kind that first springs to mind. The continuous cycle of releasing and touring albums had worn PJ Harvey down to the point of severing her relationship with the music itself, and though she continued to make music for theater and television, she was uncertain about how to move forward. That feeling of being lost, of intense searching coupled with exhaustion, permeates her 10th album and first since 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project, channeling it into a strangely immersive experience that can somehow be both disquieting and comforting, but never not beguiling. After so many years without a PJ Harvey album – and especially considering the journalistic, somewhat divisive approach of the last one – the shift to something seemingly amorphous, allusive, and inscrutable might alienate even more fans. It is playing with those same qualities, however, that has allowed her to not only venture beyond preconceived boundaries but deeply reconnect with her words and melodies, resulting in a record of wondrous and palpable immediacy.
Lyrically, I Inside the Old Year Dying draws directly from the poetry book that preceded it, 2022’s Orlam. Written in Dorset dialect, the collection chronicles a year in the life of a girl named Ira-Abel Rawles, inviting comparisons to Harvey’s own sheltered, rural upbringing. Strangely enough, though, setting these 12 pieces to music does the opposite of foregrounding any autobiographical parallels. Harvey has a way of obscuring not just any semblance of narrative but her own voice, and along with longtime collaborators John Parish and Flood, who co-produced the album, they drift into what she has described as a “sonic netherworld” that contains echoes of her past work but eschews repetition or convention. It is tempting, in light of the recent reissue campaign of Harvey’s albums, to see a song like ‘Seem an I’ as an attempt to capture the raw power of an early demo, but what’s transfixing about it is not its sparseness so much as a careful subtlety: a riff that sounds both earthy and ethereal, enveloped by instruments that either further ground Harvey’s vocals or edge out into the unknown – all blurring together and hardly identifiable without looking at the credits.
The effect, achieved throughout I Inside the Old Year Dying, is to muddy the line between the human and the divine (one of the recurring characters is a Christ-like figure called Wyman-Elvis), the nature-bound and dream-like, memory and imagination. “I ascend three steps to hell/ The school bus heaves up the hill,” Harvey sings on ‘Autumn Term’, which loops a field recording of what sounds like children playing until it blends into the background of the song, buzzing and alive in a sort of uncanny way. As the protagonist’s innocence fades, Harvey’s poetry occupies the increasingly slippery space between girlhood and adulthood, rendered all the more vivid by music that sounds at once improvisatory and atmospheric, rough yet diffuse. “Slip from my childhood skin/ I zing through the forest,” she sings on ‘I Inside the Old I Dying’, embodying a haunting transformation. Rebirth is not a new beginning, Harvey seems to suggest, but this in-between, laid out in the eerie shimmer of the opening track: “So look before and look behind/ At life and death all intertwined.”
As inward-looking and isolated as it seems, the album often feels like a dance with history more than Harvey’s own past, enigmatic and oddly tender. There are allusions to Elvis, Shakespeare, John Keats, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in some cases not so much invoking as conversing with them: “My love, will you come back again?” she sings, at the end of ‘Lwonesome Tonight’, in response to the song that itself references As You Like It. Off the page, you sometimes wish the yearning simmering at the core of the album was made a bit more tangible, rose a little further to the surface, or gave way to something bigger. Maybe that’s not the path it’s meant to follow, though. The climax of intensity is appropriately reached on the closer, ‘A Noiseless Noise’, but it’s barely sustained, a reminder of the transitory nature, the smallness of the whole affair. “Go home now love, leave your wandering,” Harvey implores. From there, you get the feeling it can only grow.

Acclaimed visual artist Marco Sanges, renowned for his distinctive photographic storytelling, will dazzle Germany with his latest exhibition, Sensations, from October 7th, 2023, to February 24th, 2024, at the Haus Der Fotografie.
His photographs combine Byzantine grandeur with Surrealist wit and Gothic romance, lauded by Prince Stanislas (Stash) Klossowski de Rola for his “distinctive idiom.” Sanges transforms subject matter into his own entrancing, idiosyncratic vision, rather than reproducing painting through photography.
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in the USA has honoured Marco Sanges by permanently including his artwork in their collection. Furthermore, one of his pieces gained further recognition when it was showcased and sold at the prestigious Christie’s London Auction in 2023.
Sports betting is one of the most effective ways of turning a profit from gambling. A lot of people underestimate its promise and as a consequence prioritise things like casino gaming instead. If you want to make some money for yourself on the side then now’s the time to reconsider if you have previously focused more on casino gaming. This post will delve into how you can maximise your profits from sports betting and cover everything you could ever need to know about it.
The first thing that you need to do if you are interested in getting involved in sports betting is to find a reliable, trusted betting site to use. Whether it’s online sportsbook betting in Malaysia or in the United States that you are looking for, simple internet searches will help you find out about all of the best sites for you to use. A good way of telling whether or not a site can be trusted is to read its reviews, so make sure that you do that. A website’s reviews can tell you a lot about it and make deciding whether to use it or not an easier decision to make.
A handicapper is a sports betting professional. Usually, these individuals are very knowledgeable about sports. They are able to assist gamblers in making bets. Typically a handicapper will sell ‘tips.’ These tips are recommendations on courses of action and decisions for gamblers to make. If you are going to hire a handicapper, then as mentioned above, make sure that you read their reviews. A handicapper’s reviews can tell you a lot about them and will make deciding whether or not to use them a much simpler decision for you to make.
You don’t necessarily have to hire a handicapper to win when you were betting. In fact, you can become a handicapper in your own right. You can do this by taking time to extensively research the players and teams that you were going to be better on. Oftentimes, handicappers research the personal lives of players that are part of teams. This is so that they can determine whether or not it’s likely that they will underperform. Sometimes people underperform in sports because their personal lives get in the way. Take the time to research sports players so that you can make more informed, effective decisions.
Gambling is an activity that many people get terribly addicted to. If it’s something you are planning on taking up recreationally, make sure that you game responsibly. Responsible gambling will ensure you do not overspend. If you believe that you are developing an addiction or a problem, make sure that you get a hold of yourself and start thinking more clearly. A good way to prevent yourself from overspending is to set limits. Setting limits for yourself is a straightforward and easy thing to do.
Online gambling is one of the best ways to make money that exists online. If it’s something you are interested in pursuing then be sure to take the guidance issued here. Doing so will help you to become a better, more successful gambler.
