A good friend of ours originally passed this Dean Chalkley Documentary The New Faces on to us, and we were instantly hooked. Not because we necessarily dress the same, or dance the same, but because we need to make sure we live in a world where people can choose to dress and dance in different styles - and because it felt like modern history. Dean Chalkley is a photographer and film maker based in London, and in his view, the subjects of his doc "... are activists in style and firmly grasp the heritage of the past whilst actually presenting themselves in a totally contemporary way swimming against the tide of mediocrity." Watch these modern mods celebrate proper soul, 60s dance, history, and dressing smart.
