Held at 229 The Venue, Portland Street 'Le beat bespoke' has become an international event for Mods. I went along last year as part of my Final Major Project. Mods of all nationalities and ages come together for the festival lasting 3 days and nights over the Easter bank holiday weekend. It included DJ sets and live bands in the evening with vintage markets and other happenings during the day.
The mods here were all clearly 60's inspired but there was more to it than just throwing on some vintage apparel, they all had something about them that gave the impression of youthfulness. The girls all had a petite look about them with blouses or little cotton tops tucked into mini-skirts that sat on the waist, or simplistic shift cut dresses with bold prints and blocked colour. The boys wore buttoned up shirts tucked into their straight leg trousers or jeans with a tailored jacket or Fred Perry v-neck sweater accompanied by a cravat.
