Mad Men: it's all about the fashion


The 1950's fashion highlighted on the hit AMC show, Mad Men, is inspiring fashion followers everywhere and is perfectly on trend with the return to more ladylike and gentlemanly dressing. Thanks in part to the show, countless men are showing up to events smartly dressed in slim suits and skinny ties, and many women now prefer sheath dresses and pearls to minis and flip flops. The show's fashion was even the influence behind Michael Kors' Fall 2008 RTW collection.


In fact, to celebrate the premiere of season two, Mr. Kors is giving away a DVD set of the first season with each purchase of over $350 at 30 select retailers. Bloomingdale's is also getting in on the Mad Men fashion inspiration. The retailer launched mini shops instore with clothing, accessories and barware that speaks to the show's fashion sensibility, and they have been so successful that they will stay open through the fall. This month's GQ also features John Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling on the show, in a six-page fashion spread.

With Mad Men, it seems it's all about the fashion.
