After several attempts of researching the evolution of bohemian fashion during the 1960s, i realised that Bohemian fashion in the 1960s did not last very long. It only appeared around  1968 to early 1970s due to the Hippie's movement which was quite a short period of time. Therefore, i decided to shift my focus onto the 1960s modern fashion instead.

"By 1968, hippie-influenced fashions were beginning to take off in the mainstream, especially for youths and younger adults of the populous "Baby Boomer" generation.."

This is basically the characteristics of Mod fashion in the 1960s. Since, the fashion that i want to do is about the Mod fashion of the 1960s, therefore this information can be used to reflect the attitudes of Mod fashion.
