Mad Men's Costume Designer on How to Get the '60s Look at Home

Last night was the launch party for Banana Republic's second Mad Men collection.

Last night was the launch party for Banana Republic's second Mad Men collection. Costume designer Janie Bryant was in attendance, wearing one of the classic sheath dresses from the new line. We got a chance to chat with the talented designer — who also has a shapewear line with Maidenform and is currently designing a handbag collection — about the show's fashions and how she got involved. Prior to designing for Mad Men, Janie worked on another show, Deadwood, and when that wrapped, the opportunity came knocking. "My agent called and said there's a period show called Mad Men, do you want to meet on it? And I said 'yes of course I want to' because I wanted to design another period show," Janie told us. She had a very successful meeting with executive producer Matthew Weiner, and they offered her the job the next day!

Get Your Own Mad Men-Inspired Wardrobe!

I know I'm not the only one obsessed with Mad Men.

I know I'm not the only one obsessed with Mad Men. Not only is the plot juicy, but so are the clothes. I've already checked out Banana Republic's inspired pieces, made my own stylish Mad (Wo)Men, and hopefully soon, I can get retro designs from Mad Men's costume designer, Janie Bryant! “I love fashion as it allows us each to express our creativity and I love capturing the essence of an era through costume design,” says Janie. “Now I am looking forward to bringing that retro style to today's wardrobes.” Launch details are TBD, but we do know Janie is set to design a modern '60s-inspired line of men’s and women’s apparel, lingerie, swimwear, home, footwear and accessories. It's a mad, mad world . . .
