Upskirt: Work Wear of the Future?

In 1970, Sylvia Anderson appeared on the Brit chat show "Tomorrow Today" to promote UFO, the new, live-action science-fiction television series produced by herself and husband, Gerry (also the masterminds behind the fabulous Thunderbirds Are GO). Anderson showed a film clip of model Antonia Ellis bopping around London in a women's Moonbase uniform from the series. According to Anderson, the silver micro-mini was perfect workaday wear for the earthbound career girls of the future—after all, "there's nothing to crease, nothing to iron, and everything is replaceable." Just pray you don't have to bend over to pick up a paperclip. Fans of Zolar X might recognize the haircut.
