With the news of Gaps sister brand Banana Republic set to release a Mad Men inspired capsule collection. I wanted to take a look at what all the fuss was about, and see how the early 1960's was making its comeback.
Banana Republics Collection
The show which was originally aired in 2007, has gathered a number of both awards, and fans
as it now heads into its 5 season.
The style which has been so sympathetically created by the shows costume designer - Janie Bryant - has been seen in previous seasons by the heavy weights, Louis Vuitton being the most memorable with their Fall 2010 campaign.
This Same style has been seen by both Prada for their Fall 2010, and by Christian Dior for their Spring 2011 catwalk collections.

Drapers mentioned in their autumn 2011 report that 'The influence of Mad Men star Christian Hendricks and Prada and Marc Jacobs' full length skirts with fitted tops from autumn 10 have filtered into contemporary and mainstream womenswear' Giving a hint that we will soon see this styles - made popular by the sitcom - hitting the high streets this winter.
So grab your grey marl socks, mid-length skirts and chunky knits and head for a productive day at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
