How The Ipcress File is bringing 1960s espionage chic to life
The Ipcress File is one of them, not least because of the sumptuous clothes; Lucy Boynton’s burgundy red skirt suits, turquoise floral evening dresses and baby blue roll-neck coats with a bow at the neck made me want to rewind time and swear off jeans and leggings forever.The show is set in 1963, before the arrival of Mary Quant’s bottom-skimming minis but after the trend for full-skirted, lightly corseted New Look dresses. It was a major turning point in fashion and arguably one of the most stylish periods of the last century.
