British Teddy Girl, 1955
Teddy Boy (also known as Ted) is a British subculture typified by young men wearing clothes that were partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, styles which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after World War II. The subculture started in London in the 1950s, and rapidly spread across the UK, soon becoming strongly associated with American rock and roll. Originally known as Cosh Boys, the name Teddy Boy was coined when a 1953 Daily Express newspaper headline shortened Edward to Teddy.The rule is, every time this badass Teddy Girl shows up on my dash, I shall reblog her until one day I wake up and I AM her.
I want to dress like this every day for the rest of my life.
So do I.
