I found this terrific vintage 60’s mod double-breasted top from The Vintage Wardrobe shop on Fashionspace.com. The Vintage Wardrobe is based in Hampshire, England and describes this item as:
…a genuine 60s garment which is perfect for the MOD/RETRO fashion. It is double breasted with pearly white buttons and a gorgeous large white satin-feel collar. The collar and neck line of the top really is beautiful. The black body of the top feels like gorgeous soft velvet. The top is labelled as a size 12 but would fit a size 10 better. The top looks so amazing with a vintage pencil skirt/drainpipes and heels/pointy shoes. This top is so striking and unusual so snap it up whilst you can. (only £10.00)

I was browsing Modshop and found this terrific Mod-style dress from E.C. Star. I love the shape, the red buttons, and the crossing shoulder straps.
California designer, Jennifer Johnson is the founder of E.C. Star.
In 1989 Jen, officially entered the fashion scene by becoming the buyer for Electric Chair a clothing boutique that at the time housed the hottest young designers, including Mary Quant and Built By Wendy and Betsey Johnson, among others. A few years later, she landed the position for designing in store items such as dresses, shoes, bags and belts. What would soon become known as Jen’s beginning and her trademark look began its formulations here: sexy silhouettes, punk rock and retro inspired fabrics, kitschy detailing and, most importantly, a fabulous fit.
Of course, a double-breasted jacket to match. Why do I love these so much?
