While the 1950's introduced teenagers to fashion and society in general, the youth were the leaders of the 1960's, which was a colorful decade in many ways. Young British people were called the Mods and Rockers, and they were at odds. The Rockers tended to wear clothes like black leather jackets, and the Mods were more stylish and bohemian. By 1966, the mini skirt became very popular and appealed to bold young women. America's answer was the hippie movement. The young crowd started trends like bell-bottom jeans and tie-dyed shirts. The youth still based their fashion off of media and celebrities at this time. Fashion icons included supermodels, the most famous one being Twiggy, and most men wanted to dress like the Beatles.
