If you ever fancied yourself a wardrobe like that of tall & chic Betty Francis or dapper Don Draper, quit dreamin' because now you can! A&E's hit 1960s-set show Mad Men has followed the ad men and women of Sterling Cooper in their lives while smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes, having love affairs and drinking whiskey on and off... mostly on. The collection, which debuts August 11, was supposed to coincide with the show's return to TV, but well... since that isn't going to happen 2012, we'll just have to keep occupied with new clothes.
The Banana Republic collection features the work of Mad Men Costume Designer Janie Bryant and the brand's creative director Simon Kneen. The collection features short pearl necklaces, tailored dresses, lace sleeveless shirts, structured bags, demure shirts, high-waisted pants, trench coats and more. For men, the collection features fedoras, pocket squares, money clips, knit sweaters, handsome dinner jackets. This 65-piece collection will take your living-out-Don-Draper-or-Betty-Francis's-life dream to the extreme!
