In the 1950's Teddy Boy fashion included bubble gum colors paired with black. Drainpipe trouser and long jackets, neck ties, and waistcoats as well as triple layered shoes. Girls wore tall hair and full skirts. The look is associated with Rock-n-Roll music of the time.
However, look is derived from King Edward in clothes created by Savile Row tailors in Britain.
On the runway, designers are influenced by this look. The Rock-a-Billie influence can be also noticed in the TopShop design.
Musicians decades later still bring it to life.
