    That particular group were called “The Fool”. They were costume designers whose clients included the Beatles.

    Granny Takes A Trip, mate!

    Weren’t they also called dandies during that time?
    There has been a tradition… or more like a sub-current, of eccentric clothing in London that reaches back until at least the days of Queen Victoria.
    Granted, the 1960s took it up a notch or three.

      Yes. This is a British group. Carnaby Row was the centre for that style of design. cf. Austin Powers.

        In America, this got lumped in as “Mod”, despite that word having a more specific meaning (sharp suits taking cues from Italian tailoring).

          Were Mods an American thing as well?
