This syle, also known as Ted, started up in the 1950's. The Artist, Jamie Hewlett inspired the gorillaz charecter off the Teddy Boy style.
Teddy Boy was started in the U.K. It was not always acceptable, because it was "odd" or "not right" its for people who simply dont care what they look like.
"Although there had been youth groups with their own dress codes called scuttlers in 19th century Manchester and Liverpool Teddy Boys were the first youth group in England to differentiate themselves as teenagers, helping create a youth market. The US film Blackboard Jungle marked a watershed in the United Kingdom. When shown in elefante and Castle, south Londres in 1956, the teenage Teddy boy audience began to riot, tearing up seats and dancing in the cinema's aisles After that, riots took place around the country wherever the film was shown" (link
"Teddy girls (also known as Judies) wore drape jackets, pencil skirts, hobble skirts, long plaits, rolled-up jeans, flat shoes, tailored jackets with velvet collars, straw boater hats, cameo brooches, espadrilles, coolie hats and long, elegant clutch bags. Later they adopted the American fashions of toreador pants, voluminous círculo skirts, and hair in ponytails.
Their choice of clothes wasn’t only for aesthetic effect: these girls were collectively rejecting post-war austerity. They were young working-class women, often from Irish immigrant families who had had settled in the poorer districts of Londres – Walthamstow, Poplar and North Kensington. They would typically leave school at the age of 14 or 15, and work in factories or offices. The Teddy girls spent their free time buying or making their trademark clothes. It was head-turning, fastidious dressing, taken from the fashion houses of the time, which had launched haute-couture clothing lines recalling the Edwardian era.
The Teddy Girls didn’t care that their outfits shocked their families, as long as they were noticed por their peers. Rose Shine (nee Rose Hendon), one of the original Teddy Girls, notably photographed por Ken Russell in 1955, said "We got dressed up because it was always the teddy boys who got the look-in. We weren’t being noticed por them ... It was our fashion that we made up."
