# 60s-Inspired Beach Couture The 'Brazil Dazzle' Editorial Combines Mod Fashion with Modern Taste By | Published 2013-05-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/60sinspired-fashion References: [howtospendit.ft](http://howtospendit.ft.com/womens-fashion/27093-brazil-dazzle-) 1950s clothing styles have been coming back in a big way but now it's time for 60s-era mod fashion to experience a comeback, which is demonstrated in the 'Brazil Dazzle' editorial for How to Spend It, a branch of the Financial Times. Large hoop earrings, cat's-eye sunglasses and [bold prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) occupy the editorial, reminiscent of London's mod fashion era in the 1960s. Styled by Damian Foxe this spread highlights the use of [vibrant colors and A-line shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop) to transport the viewer back 50 years. One outfit in particular uses the mod style to great effect. The model is seen wearing a brown and white checkered skirt and crop top, her hair in a sleek ponytail and her eyes covered by white cat's-eye sunglasses. The look is a clear nod to the 1960s and an indication that perhaps the 20s and 50s style comebacks are fading out and the strikingly confident 60s fashions are becoming mod once more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **60s Fashion Comeback:** Mod fashion from the 1960s is experiencing a renewed interest, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities for clothing retailers and designers to modernize this retro aesthetic. - **Bold Prints and Colors:** Vibrant, eye-catching prints and colors from the 60s mod era are back in style, offering disruptive innovation opportunities for manufacturers of textiles and clothing accessories. - **Vintage-inspired Accessories:** Retro accessories like large hoop earrings and cat's-eye sunglasses from the 60s are becoming popular again, providing disruptive innovation opportunities for designers and manufacturers of fashion accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Clothing retailers can take advantage of the renewed interest in 60s fashion by offering modernized mod-inspired clothing lines. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of textiles can innovate by creating bold, colorful fabrics inspired by the mod era of the 60s. - **Fashion Accessories:** Designers and manufacturers of retro-inspired accessories can take advantage of the renewed interest in 60s fashion accessories like large hoop earrings and cat's-eye sunglasses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Optimistic Fashion Brand Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brand-homecoming.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Enchanting Mediterranean Swim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-del-sol-collection.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Swimwear Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Dynamic Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bru-eyewear-1.md)
