LAUDS FOR THE MODS

Mary McNamara comes down hard on the resurgence of ‘60s mod outfits on runways, and my question is “Why?” (“Mod in America,” by Mary McNamara, Style, July 30). How could anyone be against the coolest look of the century? Why must it die just because the ‘60s are over? What’s wrong with girls and guys dressing in wildly colored, tight-fitting outfits that really make them look great?

The best thing--fashion-wise--that could be done for the world, would be to bring back that stylish ‘60s look and get rid of the true bad joke of the ‘90s--the sloppy, baggy-pants-falling-down, oversized-clothes look--once and for all.
