Teddy Girl!!!!

I am currently doing a project at college about a decade in fashion and i chose to do the 1940's to the 1950's. I know alot about how things changed dramatically for women and fashion but until recently i never even knew Teddy Girls even existed!!!.....
I love thier look its like a well tailored rebellion. It has elements of grunge , goth, androdgony and new edwardianism. With their "duck arse" quiffs , drainpipe trousers, oversived blazers and masculine white shirts.

I have to design a shirt from the decade i have chosen  so i decided to focus on Teddy Girls of course !!

I found images that i found inspirational to help with my designs from my original Teddy Girl images above and images that show traits of Teddy Girl style.
