The Fashion File: Advice, Tips and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men
By Janie Bryant
After months and months of waiting and some behind the scenes drama Mad Men is back on television! Season 5 is scheduled to begin on Sunday, March 25th with a two hour premier. Luckily for us there are many “products” available to help us prepare to reenter the sophisticated world of Don Draper.
Fashion retailer Banana Republic has just launched their second collection of Mad Men inspired clothing for men and women.
Mattel has a Mad Men Barbie doll collection featuring Don Draper, Betty Draper, Joan Holloway and Roger Sterling.
And the library has……. The Fashion File written by Janie Bryant, Mad Men’s costume designer. The Fashion File is a fun little book filled with cast photos and comments, chic illustrations, and advice about how you can create your own vintage inspired wardrobe.
If you need to catch up on previous Mad Men episodes before the premier, the library has the past seasons available for check out.
