7r\^ TW T 7 n M Page Fcur THE CAROLINA JOURNAL Wednesday, March 2, 1986 CLUB & CAMPUS FASHIONS Around The Campus ‘Miss l/NC-C’ Dance Is Feature Attraction Of Week^s Activities By CHIP TOLBERT ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR THE MODS OF LONDON have been responsible for nurturing some of the most radical and exciting fashion ideas in recent memory. At the outset, however, let’s make it clear that virtually none of these fashions are presently being worn on American campuses. Yet in fashion as in ever.vthing else, from extremes emerge the means, and there’s no doubt that modified versions of many of these innovations will catch on and be counted among the best college market sellers in the near future. In any case, we thought you’d be interested in hearing about what’s happening right now on the London fashion scene, as well as what’s being done in Mod fashions in America. THE MOD TUXEDO, fo, a start, offers plenty of surprises. Cut tight and skinny, it features a 3 or 4-button jacket, high, narrow lapels, very deep side vents, satin belt loops, cuffs, and a wide satin belt. The trousers are tapered in extreims, and the outfit may be worn with black demi-boots. Accessories are radical, if not out rageous; frills on the cuffs and front of the shirt, plus a very wide bow tie. THE MOD MODE, in all apparel areas, is char acterized by certain definite trends. The ward robe is form-fitted, and anything smacking of standardized fashions is “automatically out.’’ The plumage on the male bird is getting brighter and snappier, and there’s no doubt that it’s getting harder all the time to tell the boys apart from the girls. Prices are comparatively high: slacks run anywhere from $15. to $25. Lines are fluid, and we frequently find strong surface interest in a rich variety of textured fabrics. In slacks, the low-rise, hip-hugging model is in. Belts run as wide as three inches, and many of them are colorfully striped. MODISM MOVES ON: here are some more “musts’’ in the fashion conscious Mod’s wardrobe. A camel suede overshirt with seamed pockets and shoulders, usually worn with slacks tapered to the knee, then flared out to bell bottom cuffs. A pair of giant black-and-white houndstooth check trousers, worn as low as possible. Ticking- striped low-rise jeans worn with a matching snap-front jacket. A rugged blue denim shirt with a high-rise collar and cuffs of white broadcloth. A fancy soft leather vest. The Mod Suit which doubles as a sports ensemble merely by unbuttoning the suit collar and re placing it with a dark collar. And maybe even a black vinyl, double- breasted jacket with slanting side pockets and patch breast pocket. SHIRTING THE MOD usually involves wild prints and even wilder color ideas. Take, for example, the black daisy shirt, a lightweight cotton print that also comes in red, purple—the whole spectrum, in fact—on a white back- gi'oimd. The reverse-print tie is sold along with the shirt; collars are high-i-ise, and both cuffs and collars are white. Way out’? On my recent trip to London, I was assured that it’s one of the current best-sellers ! And it’s now being sold in a few shops across America. GENTLEMEN , the Rockers have had it. The Mods are with it, and the fashion woi'ld is switched-on. Next month, we’ll switch back a little closei- to home in time for your Easter Vacations. Swim shorts, walk shorts, and resort wear will be our topic. See you then. ■ ('..loriiUe. U)M,. KSgriRK, Imc.

Almost overnight, Carnaby Street, located in London’s fashionable West End, has become the center and the source of what the Mods refer to as their “instant fashions.’’ It’s an amusing paradox that Carnaby is located a mere 200 yards from Savile Row, long recognized as headquarters for London’s most distinguished and conservative tailoi’ing establishments. Who shops Carnaby? Only the Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, four young men named John, George, Paul and Ringo, and a fifth who used to be known around town as Anthony Arm- strong-Jones. And what do they, and thousands of their fans and followers, buy there? Some pretty surprising fashions . Swain’s Charcoal Steak House 1800 W.
