Without a doubt, Mad Men is my favourite show on TV right now. I love the sharp script, the Hopper inspired cinematography, but most of all I love the clothes. Janie Bryant is the show's stylist and is responsible for creating each character's covetable look: from Joan Holloway's figure-hugging frocks to Don Draper's slim cut suits.
Rumour has it that Bryant is working on her own fashion line, but until then there's been a flurry of fifties inspired frocks on the high street, perfect for any aspiring Betty, Joan or Peggy...
