Mad Men

I am sure all you retro fashionistas are familiar with the television show Mad Men. I was very pleased to hear it is making it's debut on Australian free-to-air TV next week!



For those of you not familiar with the show, it is a stylist cult series set in the glamorous world of advertising in New York in the late 50s/early 60s. The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.


The fashion, styling and set design is breathtaking and painstakingly accurate, featuring bullet bras, full-skirted dresses with pinched waists, curve-skimming dresses and Peter Pan collars coupled with pleated skirts.


Mad Men airs Thursdays at 8.30pm on SBS.
