Deanna Dahlsad's curator insight, December 8, 2013 6:04 PM

Despite the fact that this issue was discussed back when I was in college decades ago -- and likely long before that, this article makes the following claims:

The marketing of Mod

The marketing of Mod | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

First among the fash/Mod image pushers is Ben Sherman, purveyor of the mighty button-down shirt and a true Mod God. Its new advertising campaign plays on its Mod tradition, featuring pitched battles on the beach between Mods and rockers under the catchline, "As worn at the Battle of Hastings, 1966", and a proud, black skinhead staring at the camera under the catchline, "A man should be judged on the colour of his shirt."
