AMC’s hit TV series Mad Men has gained millions of fans by tackling explicit themes like sex, money and power in the 60’s, but it’s the sharp and era accurate costume design that really bring these characters to life.
Proto-feminist sirens Betty, Peggy and Joan flounce around the small screen in early 60’s tweed, tea dress and swing coats – envy worthy, while the men kick back in sharp 3-button suits, sip scotch and chain smoke.
If Mad Men gives you a yearning to slip into a swing dress and put on your ‘lady like,’ you’re in luck. Julianna Bonet of Jools Couture has just released a 50’s and 60’s inspired range of frocks, with high waists, pencil shapes and tulle (just add pearls).
The range is available in Canberra exclusively to Sybil’s Closet by Danielle, Andrew Arcade, Kingston.
