over it to conceal underarm stains; keeping Kiehl’s facial mist within arm’s reach. This kind of granular detail pervades nearly every scene of the first season of the series, a look at how young people navigate their stressful, sweaty lives at Pierpoint & Co., a fictional investment bank in London.
The show examines how new recruits from different backgrounds try to crack the notoriously white, male, upper-class banking profession. Mastering the balance between fitting in and showing off is crucial, and fashion is key to that formula. At first glance, the clothes on “Industry” look incredibly boring, which is the point. While none of the many real financiers I spoke with wished to be identified due to office confidentiality policies, all found the show’s costume design dead on, or, as one put it, “eerily accurate.” That’s to be expected: Right out of Oxford, the show’s early-30s co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay worked at Rothschild & Co. and Morgan Stanley , respectively.
“Everyone is blending in, but in these very subtle ways, they’re showing their power,” said Mr. Down, who told me that he and his co-creator are “obsessed with clothes” themselves. “It’s a very subtle and interesting way of telling a story and revealing character,” he continued. The pair wrote nearly every single costume into the show, right down to the pieces’ brands. So when the character Yasmin is lounging casually at home, she’s not just wearing any old jeans and sneakers. According to the script, her outfit comprises “lick-the-sole-new Common Projects, Acne Jeans, baby-cash Loro Piana polo neck.”
For 50 years Beijing Joe has stood by while millions of jobs, thousands of companies, and untold intellectual properties have moved to China. During the Obama Biden terms, the defense budget was decimated and now China has the largest navy and standing army in the world.
