THE TERRIFIC TEDDY GIRLS!

Late 1940's youth culture movement, the "Teddy Girls", were a lesser-acknowledged element of the tough and iconic "Teddy Boy" movement. Apparently the basis of the scene came from huge gangs of working class Londoners and Irish immigrants. Culturally, they took the tom-boy look to extreme levels, given the female ideal of the time. With the same slicked back quiffs and broad shouldered jackets as the boys, these chicks were considered terrifying to the average 1950's girl-next-door! Here's two of Ken Russel's stunning photographs of girls from the movement, which was little documented elsewhere. And also look out for an Autumn/Winter collection from BUG POP, taking a lot of inspiration!
