Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant has the best job on earth. Since costumes are such a big part of the show, her role is not only fun, it's absolutely essential to creating a vivid world.
Last night at the Elle Women in Television Celebration held at Soho House in West Hollywood, the fashion was all over the place: Formal black feathers, vivid yellow fringe, a shiny metallic short suit. While many of the awesome ladies in attendance looked great, there were, as always a few misfires. Let's take a look.
We were thrilled when we heard Janie Bryant, Mad Men's costume designer, was doing a vintage-inspired line. But looking at the available pieces on QVC, our dreams of retro office-dresses, pen necklaces and sleek suits were dashed!
It's here! Mad Men Season 4 officially premiered last night in Hollywood. And while January may have been MIA, all your other favorite skirts and suits represented...even if their actual skirts and suits weren't exactly up to Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce standards...
