Exclamation Spring's Mod Styles : Do You Like ?


For spring, Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld whips up Lucite platforms, oversize shades, and armfuls of bangles—all in a crisp palette of black and white—to complement his collection of mod miniskirts and A-line dresses.


Cameron Diaz was one of the first fashion-forward stars to work the mod look. At The Holiday premiere in Madrid, Diaz makes a memorable entrance in Chanel’s bold shift. December 2006


At Pucci, designer Matthew Williamson applied the house’s signature swirling prints to body-conscious dresses and flirty minis. Statement-making accents—from large bangles to see-through wedges—complete the past-meets-present look.

Ever the style chameleon, Sienna Miller test-drives Pucci’s ’60s-style dress and necklace at London’s Chain of Hope Autumn Ball.


Milly Full of hardware-accented minidresses and graphic print frocks, Milly’s spring line offers many wearable options for the season’s ’60s trend.

i really like the mod look, but i think you need to be careful to mix it with more mundane things, lest you look like you're wearing a costume.

I love the look, and I love how the A-line dresses look on celebs, but I tried on tons of them and I look severely pregnant in them, being rather slim! I think very few real people can pull it off in reality.

Sometimes A-line dresses / skirts can be really unflattering (makes you look like you have huge hips). I finally found a pretty mod dress after weeks of searching... the fabric is less structured so the A shape is not so noticeable. Have you tried VANITAS?

Love this style and these specific styles..not all mod styles are cute. I particularly love #'s 2,3,5,6, and 8. I'd wear each of them. Particularly #3 and #8.

The mod dresses look so unflattering - even on celebs. It does nothing to accentuate the best parts of a women's body.

I love mod style but not a fan of the dresses that are TOO babydoll - a short skirt and knee high boots are one thing - Mary Janes and a dress that looks like it should be worn by a 12 yr old is a bit infantalising. I adore mod accessories though! Very grown up

I love the mod style!! Especially in black and white!

Wore a shift dress (similar to the cutting of the Gucci dress) last week paired with ballet flats, and got many complements

I love that it's so easy to wear, and is a great way of showing off leg without looking too tacky (especially at work).

Really like pics 1 & 3. A bit sick of that Caeron Diaz one by now!
Generally like the style provided worn with correct accessories & on the right figure/age group!
