Mad Men is my TV staple - I will be shedding a tear when this series draws to a close. Betty Draper has long been my icon of all things blonde, vintage, with a slight quirk or two, I was a little more than disappointed that her main role this season seemed to be as the fat lady in the show. I think that the show's costume design sets it apart & it is a visual treat - with Joan's shape hugging dresses, Betty's prim & proper cardigans & pastel shades & Peggy's attempt at 60s working women chic, this season Megan Draper has upped the style stakes embodying the swinging sixties. From her kohl lined eyes, flicky bob & love of prints, Megan represents so much of what is great about vintage fashion - fun, playful & classic. Any other Mad Men fans out there?
Megan's wardrobe moments:
1. Megan's zig zags, pastel shades & lady like bag - so S/S 2012.
2. Megan's sex kitten, 60s bat wing dress whilst serenading Don.
3. Poised, serious with perfect tousled bob & a prim & proper scoop neck & brooch
4. Paisley pattern & bow neck - perfect day wear & something I would love to rock
5. Polka dots & ruffles - it is like she raided Zara, or is it the other way around?
My favourite ever fashion moment from Mad Men is still loyal to Betty & it was in the episode in which her & Don go to Rome (season 3, episode 8). Beehive, cocktail cigarette in hand, bejewelled & stunning in a black knee length gown - it was 60s glamour with all the sophistication, kitsch & quirk rolled into one - you can almost smell the hairspray!
Mad Men is great, I must get the box set and watch it from the start as I seem to only manage to dip into bits of it. This is a very funny Don Draper montage I found a while ago...have you seen it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsJSRP7cZVo&sns=fb
