Swing Kids (1993)
The Swing Kids were a group of jazz and swing lovers in Germany in the 1930s. They were composed of 14 to 18-year-old boys and girls in high school, most of them middle or upper-class students.They admired the British and American way of life, defining themselves in swing music and opposing the National-Socialist ideology, especially the Hitlerjugend (“Hitler Youth” or HJ).

“Now drop your jack in the old jukebox
Play your favourite disc
When you dance with the bobby socks
You dance at your own riskRip! Everybody swing
Yes, swing ‘till the rafters ring
And all the cats join in!”Make Mine Music - “All the Cats Join In”
No hard feelings, Point Break. You’ve got a mean swing.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this special queue dedicated to British fashion!! Drop me a quick message if you can and give me a heads up!!
I wasn’t able to feature everything that I wanted to (only 50 posts allowed!) so I hope that I gave you a good mix of street fashion, models, designers and music that gives you an insight in to the fashion of Britain in the 1960s.
