Zou Bisou Bisou!
So, we are now two episodes into the AMC's emmy award winning hit series, Mad Men.
This much is certain, Don is still incredibly sexy, Betty has starting eating more than just merlot for dinner, Joan is almost as good at being a mom as she was a running SCDP, Roger hates Pete, Pete hates Roger, Harry is oblivious, Peggy's hair looks increasingly better, and Megan is GORGEOUS!
But what most interests me about the show (besides the phenomenal writing, of course) is the costumes! Fashion plays such a huge part in Mad Men, that it's influence has spilled over into present day. And who could blame us? I mean, pencil skirts beat the pants off of mini skirts all day long.
Banana Republic celebrated with a second featured series of Mad Men inspired apparel. I am proud to say that I, in fact, own 3 pieces from the featured line, including the Joan-esque tie collar blouse in purple, the leopard trench coat, and the Joan dress in beige with light green polka-dot waist sash. I loved the latter dress so much, that I bought it a full size smaller (the dress is a 0, I wear a 2) because it was the last one left. I can't breathe in it, and sitting down is an adventure, but let's be honest, it's to die for.
If you love the 1960's, but aren't ready to bust out a retro frock, my advice is to take a small piece of vintage and incorporate it into an outfit you've worn before. You will be pleasantly surprised how it will change the look yet not overwhelm it. Use pieces like a scarf (take notes from Betty), or a fabulous vintage broach (Joan), or if your a little more adventurous, try a toque or fascinator hat. Enamel jewelry and borealis crystal also make for fine accents.
Right now, I'm loving the season's use of prints (like Trudy's dress at Don's surprise party). Emilio
Pucci is one of my all time favorite designers and I can't wait to see if the Costuming Dept. incorporates that trend into the show.
I also enjoy the use of color blocking (seen mostly on Peggy and Megan). The color block style is coming back in a full on revival and I couldn't be happier. Twiggy herself has a line out with HSN and uses the tried and true color block on many of her timeless pieces. And color blocking, when done correctly, can be magically slimming.
Post a response on how you are enjoying season 5 of Mad Men, and I'd love for you to share photos of your 1960's inspired looks.
