Client London

"Worn with the Prim Polka dot blouse the outfit is Power Dressing for now. This is the outfit that the girls of Mad Men would be wearing to work today…all slinky skirt besides the photocopier and fertive glances to the boss behind his closed doors"

This is how luxury brand Client London describes its classic pencil skirt, on sale here. The brand describes itself as a:

 'lifestyle label of women's clothing and accessories for work and play, for day and night, from the boardroom to the bedroom...Client brings structure into your life, putting the primness and the strict back into everyday. The dark glamour, the danger and desire of 1940s film noir, of Hitchcock. These are the clothes of fantasy - from secretary to spy, from clerk to customer.'

The website really sets the scene for the clothes:

'She’s an English spy and she’s dressed immaculately in a tailored grey office dress, a hint of red in the split in the skirt, a flash of sensuality as she runs.  She’s running down a Berlin alleyway in black patent Mary-Janes, holding her tote tight against herself.  Her chignon is perfectly coiffed.  The soundtrack is French techno.'



While I would wear the pencil skirt above paired with the silk blouse it is styled with, I am not sure about the rest of the military chic gear that seems to invoke the SS. Although, this 'Requisitioned British Nurses Dress' is quite fetching...
