The Forgotten 1950s Girl Gang You might have heard of the Teddy Boys, a 1950s rebel youth subculture in Britain characterized by an unlikely style of dress inspired by Edwardian dandies fused with American rock’n roll. They formed gangs from East London to North Kensington and became high profile rebels in the media. But an important sub-subculture of the Teddy Boys, an unlikely female element, has remained all but invisible from historical records. Meet The Teddy Girls. These are one of just a few known collections of documented photographs of the first British female youth culture ever to exist. After his photographs were published in a small magazine in 1955, Russell’s photographs remained unseen for over half a century.
