Have You Gone Completely 'Mad'?


This cocktail party is a little loud.

Can you stand another “Mad Men” fashion update? Of COURSE you can!

After last night’s season 5 kickoff, we now know the year is 1966 and at least one character was wearing a minidress—a saucy little number in chiffon with pleated angel sleeves.

Costume designer Jayne Bryant discusses the costumes from the episode—as well as some fascinating insight into how she approaches each character’s costumes and how she introduces new trends into the show—in this video from the AMC website.

And there's more. Last night's episode firmly planted the song "Zou Bizou" in my head. I know I'm not alone.

How fun is this film?
