Sunday, December 6

As of late, I have developed two new obsessions when it comes to TV shows. One is True Blood, and the second one is this, Mad Men. All the action is based between the then flourishing advertising industry and the suburban life of the employees of one of New York's main agencies in the 1960's. January Jones (below) plays Betty Draper, the wife of a successful advertising executive. Her style is very much reminiscent of the 50's, and Dior's New Look still plays an important role on a woman's wardrobe. It has been my endeavour to find some similarities between the fashion then and the collections from the last couple of seasons.
