Twiggy is the quintessential mod girl. She often modelled the brightly colored looks that were favored by the mods and made popular by musicians like the Beatles. Mods also favored included vintage items that bordered on costumes.
One of the most important designers of this era was Mary Quant who is credited with inventing the mini skirt and hot pants. This bright red raincoat is typical of the fun youthful style of the mods.
