If you haven't seen or heard of the gorgeous styling on Mad Men then you probably haven't been on this planet for very long. The biggest star of the show is the fashion of the early 1960's. This is the stage of that turbulent decade that brought you the beauty and elegance of Jackie O. and the class and style of Audrey Hepburn along with her exquisite fashions in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday. It has inspired many a design collection since and made vintage fashion from that era so valuable and timeless.
I was so happy to see this still on AMC's website. When I saw this scene I thought what perfection! The color combinations, styling and even their staging led to such a divine composition.
As a fellow red head, I just love how they use fabric colors to compliment her hair.
Jackie O. personifies the fashion of these times.
This is from a story by the Smithsonian Magazine.
A fashion story from the early 60's wouldn't be complete without Audrey Hepburn. I love the arm bracelet--not to mention her tiny waist!
And of course the ever iconic yet always inspiring image from Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Here is the 1960's outfit I put together: Dress with matching jacket at GumbyGirl, leaf brooch, pearl earrings, pearl handbag, kitten heals, gloves with flower details, and cigarette holder. All items are early 1960's vintage. Click on the highlight for links to their websites.
