I know I am way behind on the times, but on the recommendation of a friend I just finished watching the first episode of Mad Men. For the uninitiated, Mad Men is an award-winning AMC television series about a fictional 1960s New York City advertising agency. The show completed its third season this past November.
After watching the first episode, I am in stylistic sensory overload! Not only are the props and attitudes (think gender bias and workplace smoking) historically accurate, but the clothes are amazing. In just the first episode I spotted three-piece suits, pinned collars, white linen pocket squares, cufflinks, fountain pens, fedoras, tie bars, an office drawer full of folded white dress shirts, and a great slim-cut single-breasted tan rain coat. Oh that we should all aspire to dress like mad men! I'm hooked!
I wonder if I could get away with having a crystal decanter of rye whiskey on the credenza in my office ......
