THE MAD MEN (AND WOMEN) ARE BACK!

The show that defines style returns to our screens, after an eighteen-month hiatus, on March 25th! The series’ huge popularity has sparked a strong resurgence in this distinct 60’s retro look. In honor of the show’s return both Banana Republic and Estée Lauder have launched Mad Men® inspired collections.
Banana Republic Mad Men Designed in collaboration with the show’s costume designer, Janie Bryant, it’s Banana Republic’s second Mad Men® collection. The 40-piece capsule wardrobe is inspired by the show’s country club scenes and reinterprets the 1960’s silhouettes for the modern day.
