About this deal

Maddison, Paddy (17 May 2021). "Mod Fashion: A Modern Man's Guide To A Timeless Look". Ape to Gentleman.

Such individual kismet is no surprise. For Piller is one of those inspirational figures ( a lot like Creations Alan McGee ) who has always acted like a conduit between creative talent, lighting the blue touch paper for those with musical chops and similar vision. If this book is his legacy, then it’s a fantastic one, for his is most certainly a life less ordinary. Buy it on sight. You won’t be disappointed. Marshall, George, Spirit of '69 – A Skinhead Bible (Dunoon, Scotland: S.T. Publishing, 1991) ISBN 1-898927-10-3

I was a relatively poor kid who saved money to buy cheap, used clothing to have tailored to look as Moddishly hip as possible. I didn't always succeed, but that was what I saw 'Mod' as being about. I used to hear about other guys, around my age, who did have money (usually from wealthy parents) and either went out to buy the best Mod stuff possible or have it tailor-made. I didn't understand the 'difficult circumstances' people like that lived under. If you had the money, it was easy to jump into a certain look. Some of us had to work a little harder, with several mis-steps along the way, towards that end.

A charismatic storyteller, witty and unpretentious, he is at once an engaging protagonist and an indisputable authority, giving a live-wire, visceral perspective on mod life in that short flash of time. He manages to create a welcoming space in this rather exclusive world while never losing his formidable edge as a narrator’– The Big Issue

Seebohm, Caroline (19 July 1971). "English Girls in New York: They Don't Go Home Again". New York. p.34 . Retrieved 6 January 2015. For Hatherley, Hadid’s buildings are to the era of Blairite new-liberalism what Neave Brown or Erno Goldfinger were to the high watermark of postwar Britain’s Wilsonian social democracy. From hedge-fund financed academy schools to commercial temples of the post-industrial age, Hadid’s practice has, in Hatherley’s words, “produced a concrete monument to the demented extravagance of the derivatives-led boom of 1997-2008”. A journey of discovery for a schoolboy dabbling with punk, funk, record shops, discos and clothes, and then... WHAAAM! An unstoppable wave of like-minded kids fall headlong in love with 60s mod culture, revived and reformatted for the 70s and 80s generation. A brave, incisive, elegant and erudite writer, whose books dissect the contemporary built environment to reveal the political fantasies and social realities it embodies.

Retrieved 11 October 2008.The original mods gathered at all-night clubs such as The Flamingo and The Marquee in London to hear the latest records and show off their dance moves. As the mod subculture spread across the United Kingdom, other clubs became popular, including Twisted Wheel Club in Manchester. [64] Feldman, Christine J.

(ed.), We are the mods: a transnational history of a youth subculture, New York: Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., p.41, ISBN 9781433103704, Skinheads emerged from the Mod scene with a look that countered the majority of Mods' super-stylish appearance. Before they were known as Skinheads (or "Skins"), this group was known as "Hard Mods", implying an unrefined aspect to their look.
