La ribellione delle Teddy Girls.
Siamo nell’Inghilterra post bellica degli anni Cinquanta.
I giovani della working class sono alla ricerca di una nuova identità che li distingua dalla generazione precedente, devastata dalla guerra.
La ricerca di sé passa anche da un nuovo modo di vedersi e abbigliarsi che richiama l’estetica dandy dell’epoca Edwardiana (dal re Edoardo VII) degli inizi del Novecento.
Nascono così i Teddy Boys, che si riuniscono in vere e proprie gang, alcune anche apertamente violente.
E le ragazze?
Le Teddy Girls (o Judies, come venivano chiamate non senza un certo disprezzo) esistevano eccome, ma di loro si parla pochissimo.
Quasi tutte di origine operaia, le Judies portarono l’imprevisto in una moda che le voleva prigioniere di gonne al ginocchio e decorosi twin set. Se gli indumenti di lavoro (jeans larghi e camicie abbondanti) andavano bene in fabbrica, perché non fuori?
Non furono molte le Teddy Girls, ma ci sono state e, rivendicando di poter essere creature desideranti, hanno creato ancor più scompiglio sociale. Come sempre accade quando a cercare una propria identità e differenziazione sono delle femmine.
Un’importante mostra fotografica di Ken Russell del 2005 ci ha permesso di riscoprire i loro occhi accesi e volti verso il futuro. E ci piace guardarle. Sapere che sono esistite.
Sapere che veniamo anche da lì.

A really good 1970s London Weekend special, about the British Teddy Boy movement and how it was surviving and thriving as late as 1979. Featuring Crazy Cavan, Carl Perkins, old Tailor's shops, and plenty of interviews with the Teddy Boys and Girls, conducted by a young Janet Street Porter

“The teddy boys were waiting for Elvis Presley. Everybody under twenty all over the world was waiting. He was the super-salesman of mass-distribution hip. Unfortunately he had to be white. Otherwise one of the Chicago blues singers, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, would have done. He had to play to large audiences in the south. He had to have the cowboy/Spanish element. He had to have the Adonis profile. He had to have the overtones of the queerboy’s pin-up, the packed jeans, the sullen long-lashed eyes, the rosebud mouth, the lavish greasy hair and gilded drag.”
