    I was just talking about designers with my friend today. I want to know who Lady Gaga's costume designer is and see if there's any more. I enjoy her visual style - is it all her? Who's her choreographer? I wish I knew these things.

    I call shenanigans on the Austin Powers costume. C'mon half of that outfit is the puffy shirt and we all know that it was clearly stolen from Jerry Seinfeld.

    I used to work in set design for movies and tv. The whole industry is about the directors, the actors, and sometimes the soundtrack. No one gives a rat's ass most of the time. You have to have a very specific type show or movie to "break out". I used to work on Gossip Girl and it was all about the fashion. Hence why, Eric Daman is becoming famous. If Gossip Girl wasn't fashion oriented and just been another teen show like Gilmore Girls, no one would care. Some people work in movies and tv to get more on their resume. It's not like they're looking for fame behind the scenes.

    I'm thinking of that scene in the Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep tells Anne Hatheway how her sweater evolved from fashion elite. While it kinda sucks that the inspiration behind the clothing isn't credited, in a lot of ways I think it's the nature of the beast--relatively easy to produce, really easy to copy, and styles go in and out very quickly.

    All that said, is there REALLY a market for Austin Powers suits?!! Outside of Halloween?!

    No, you're right, it's obviously not Don's work.

    The tagline is Peggy's, you can thank Sal for the model's fierce smize, and the ad was sold to Lucky Strike by Pete Campbell over a deli lunch served by his wife, Trudie, Patron Saint of Awesome Hats.

    @rodmanstreet: Eh, I think that the cheesy graphics are direct result of losing Sal.

    But I agree that this has Pete Campbell written all over it. "You know, Mr. Cooper, the Oriental* market is full of untapped potential."

    * Not a descriptor I would use, but I'm fairly certain ol' Petey would.

    Consider the political implications of this, as this ad was probably created during the Vietnam War. (Since starvation was a rampant problem for the Vietnamese, the "eat my hat" statement is particularly "clever.")

    @Mary McCarthyite: I know, I know, pedants should be beaten, but I can't help myself. I believe that filtered Lucky Strikes were introduced about 1964-65, and from the style of the ad I would say this dates no later than 1967-68 (this is pure gut feel, that and I used to be a graphic arts/advertising geek when I was a teenager).

    That'd be like having Twiggy all dolled up mod make-up, while wearing a Victorian dress and sporting a straw farmer's hat. Does not compute!

    @LaComtesse: By "modern" I meant modern for the time of the ad (hence the '60s tilt in the Twiggy comparison).

    And if an Asian woman wearing a mandarin collar in the '60s isn't a kimono, I'll eat my hat.

    @BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): @midwestdesigner: Kimonos don't have mandarin collars, though. Mandarin collared top plus sunhat was fairly typical in many places in Asia, so I don't think the way she's styled is in and of itself offensive. The issue, if there is one, is using typically Asian imagery to sell something, depending on the viewer having preconceived notions of "The Orient" and Asians. However, though the model is styled prettily in traditional clothing, the copy has nothingto do with Asia or Asians. I'm thinking this ad, not so terrible. (Unless you take it to where Mary McCarthyite did above, which could be valid, but I don't know enough about when this ad came out to confirm or deny that: I'd need more context.)

    @midwestdesigner: Heh! Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine. When the original The Sims 2 game shipped, it came with a qipao and a hanbock as in game clothing. I got so freaking sick of correcting people that none of the above were actually "kimono" OR of Japanese origin OR something you could dress your Geisha Sim up in.
