the rule of three

if ever there was a television programme both sartorially inspiring and completely absorbing in equal measures, it's mad men.

in a world where the box is filled with "the hills" and sugary but not completely satisfying fares, mad men is in a league of it's own.

it is the perfect antidotal detox; it's the television equivalent of that leafy green salad eaten to combat a weekend of bingeing on haribo and cake. with the female leads, betty draper, peggy olson, joan holloway drifting, marching and swanning (respectively) around in the candy coloured waist cinched shapes of the early 1960s, you certainly get your five a day in the style department.
