Ever since the hit tv series "Mad Men" aired in 2007, the style of the 1960's has been making its way into stores. Banana Republic even brought in the costumer designer of the show, Janie Bryant, TWICE, to help them create a "Mad Men" collection. The Banana Republic Mad Men collection hit stores in August of 2011 and March of this year. This was the first time Banana Republic had ever worked with an outside designer. But it definitely paid off at the beginning of this year when Banana Republic's North American same-store sales rose 5 percent in three months. According to Bloomberg, that's the most in the last two years.
So clearly Mad Men has made a major influence on the styling of today. The dress that I am wearing happened to be an incredible present that was given to me years ago by an amazing friend who purchased it from the Bettie Page store in Las Vegas. Thanks Angela, you really know how to choose em, because you just couldn't get more spot on for me!! It's such an amazing feeling when you realize the people around you just...get you!
And if you have not seen the show Mad Men, check it out. Especially for the fashion, if nothing else!!!
