How to channel Mad Mens' vintage style fashion

By Sisi Tsoi


Fashion is a field of creativity sourced from all sort of inspiration. It comes from the creative art world, the status of an economy, or simply the trend of a whole of population. The biggest so far inspiration recently, is a television show. You ask?What television show? It sounds very not cool indeed.

That's correct. The bona fide american series called Mad Men is bringing 50s vintage style back from the dead, and made it a main line culture. Vintage fashion style is now not for the little populations of the hot group of younger people, it is no longer solely for the youth and the tasteful group of folks, it's now for everybody from the middle age, to the curvy, or even the positive size. The TV series had made the curvy girls looking savvy, the nerds look painfully, achingly cool. With the swish back hair, and the excessively tight suits, and the geeky black rimmed glasses, the show became the mainstream trend. From interior TV series, to folks serving behind a superstore counter, retro looks are everywhere.

Madman, the television show focus it soft focus directed look on 60s culture, around the advertising agency. The character Joan, a bombshell secretary in Mad Men played by Christina Hendricks, she is the character who made the curvy girls, the entire plus size fashion industry suddenly looking cool, and forecast into the main stream. Suddenly, it's really sexy to wear a skirt too tight.

As for your daily girl next door,they had introduced Alison Brie, one of the female characters in the show, shows us how a blond bombshell can look demure, like a homemaker, and irresistible at the same time. The most interesting reason for this TV series to go to mainstream because it has different point of view from all the shocking style on the red carpet in the industry. Like Lady gaga, wearing her meat dress, like Katy perry, wearing her sparkling corset in the shape of ice cream cones. Maybe those starlets outrageous styles are just far too hard for the public out there to swallow, let alone imitating. Who really want to dress like a saint, draped in million layers of lace, covering one's face, while struggling in some heels that meant for you to break your ankle?
