Banana Republic was the first retail brand to hitch itself to the Mad Men craze. Starting three years ago they’d fill their windows with Don Draper-like suits and curve enhancing shifts in jewel toned colors, but this year—despite Mad Men‘s seemingly never ending hiatus—they’re one upping their enthusiasm for Sterling Cooper Draper Price. Janie Bryant, Mad Men‘s costume designer, has designed a capsule collection with Creative Director Simon Kneen; it includes men’s, women’s and accessories and hits stores in August. “It’s so rewarding to help create a collection that will allow fans of the series to channel their own Mad Men style and take home fashionable items that are modern, not costume,” Bryant said. Though men will get the chance to buy money clips and fedoras, women will choose from tailored trenches, bow-tie blouses, high-waisted skirts and leopard print accessories. As for the sequined jumpsuit Bryant recently wore to a Macys event, wouldn’t it look smashing on Betty Draper? After all, the 70s are about to hit Madison Avenue.
