Mad Men will influence our current culture in many ways, and one of those is fashion. I noticed this earlier this year when in at least a few places, the skinny ties of the 1960s started appearing in some stores.
In this blog posting at style.com, Maya Singer chats with Michael Kors about his thoughts on the show and how it is affecting his work, among other things. One quote he made, in reference to the clothes at that time, really can apply to any era, and that is:
‘clothes are supposed to FIT’
The capital letters are his, but I agree with his emphasis.
It’s an interesting conversation between Kors and Singer…you can pick it up here: it’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
P.S. Love that photo, by the way: the strength of the show’s art direction is strongly illustrated with this one group shot of the characters.
