Today Banana Republic’s Mad Men Collection hits stores.  The capsule collection was co-designed by Mad Men’s award winning costume designer Janie Bryant and was inspired by the 60’s costumes the cast wears on the show.  There are definitely some pieces here that I like.  What do you think?

Not surprising, I love the men’s collection too.



I had the pleasure of meeting Janie Bryant in March when she was a guest judge for Charleston Fashion Week.  Lovely woman on the inside and out.  Congrats on a beautiful collection, Janie.  I’d love to see what you might have up your sleeve for that clothing line you’ve been considering…

    What an amazing collection, love the Mad Men advertising and theme! :)

  3. I think some of the pieces look really great … but for some reason I wasn’t inspired to pull out my credit card for an online order. I’ll try to get by the store to check it out in person!

    I love the women’s line and would love to wear each one of these pieces! I pray for your reader on your post yesterday and hope she gets the helps that she needs and I applaud her for reaching out. Not always easy to do. A smile is the most beautiful curve on a womans body….what a beautiful quote. So true.

  6. no my favorite….the show is much much better and these just look out of place to me…the men’s is better…should have hired Janie to do the styling too.

  7. Love these looks for the girls!! and the hair, too!

  8. Oh BOY!! Looks like it’s getting a little sassy over there! ;) Love it!

  9. Haha!! I just posted about it like 5 min ago!! I don’t watch the show but I’m really loving some of the pieces, hopefully that leopard cardigan would still be in stores in September ???

    I love! This is sooo Mad Men! I work in advertising, so I could totally rock the Mad Men life in these outfits. :) Especially loving the leopard trench!

  14. You lucky girl meeting that talent! This collection couldn’t be more gorgeous…that black on black houndstooth might be coming home with mama…(c:

  16. Lovely stuff– I do heart a capsule collection! Especially enjoy the slimmer cuts to the men’s suiting, looks far more bespoke than BR!

    love that darling little grey coat. but i agree with alex, all together all i can see are mad men costumes. out of context though, i bet they would look gorgeous!

  18. Steffi says:

    Oh my. I’ll have one of each then please…

  19. Morgan says:

    So excited for this! Love it all!

  20. Absolutely gorgeous line. I think together, the womens collection, is a little costumey, but separately its stunning

  21. I agree with Natalie! Love the clothes but they never seem to fit me right. I think they’re made for shorter girls. I’m pretty smitten with the mens line. Very dapper :)

  22. Leslie says:

    I love those dresses! I can’t wait until they arrive. :)

  23. Simply LKJ says:

    Loving the woman’s line, not so much the men’s…why are his pants so darn short? Looks like a bad tailor job!!

  24. Natalie says:

    Ok I swear we keep thinking about the same things to write about! I was going to do a post on this next week. I am headed to CLT so I have been trying to plan my posts for the week. Love this collection but sadly most BR clothes never fit my body right, but maybe one of the jackets will work. I adore the mens line, hot stuff!
