The Inspiration: Blow-Up

David Hemmings's camera caught the height of '60s mod style in Blow-Up. Look through his lens to take home a few style tips

No movie encapsulates mod style quite like Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 classic Blow-Up. The swinging photographer’s white jeans, Chelsea boots, and his studio full of leggy models defined the ’60s London scene. And the commercial success of Blow-Up inspired a whole new ratings system, allowing for more smut on screen—and even better than Hemmings’s racy shots of Jane Birkin was his understated but slick style behind the camera.
