Mad Men Season 5 Episode 9 Fashion Secrets

May 14, 2012 @ 4:00 pm

A new episode of Mad Men premiered last night, and we caught up with the show’s costume designer Janie Bryant to get the inside scoop on the fabulous retro fashions, including the looks worn by Megan Draper (Jessica Pare) and Betty Francis (January Jones) during their meeting. “The costumes in that scene were really important to tell the story of these two different women and where their lives are now,” Bryant told us. “We have Megan, who is the new wife, the young wife, the modern wife. She’s very much in touch with what’s going on in fashion in contrast to Betty, who is more uptight and conservative.” Click through for Bryant’s take on more of last night’s looks, and catch the next episode of Mad Men Sunday, May 20th at 9/8c on AMC.

Jon Hamm on His Style: ‘I Don’t Look Like This Every Day’

Mar 23, 2012 @ 9:00 am
Mad Men Don DraperEverett Collection

Don Draper returns to TV this Sunday! It’s hard to ignore the sexiness of the Mad Men character, played by the handsome Jon Hamm. What’s his secret? “Comb your hair, tuck your shirt in, that kind of stuff,” Hamm joked to InStyle.com at the fifth season premiere party in Los Angeles. He went on to describe his style as “unfortunate,” which is one reason why he is constantly surprised by people’s reactions to his appearance. “I think it’s 100% because of the show,” he said. “I think you probably seen pictures of me walking my dog in my neighborhood that for some reason people think are fun to publish, but I don’t look like this every day and I don’t try to look like this every day.  But when I’m supposed to be dressed up of course I try.” And he sure does look good in a suit, don’t you think? Catch more Hamm/Draper action on the return of Mad Men, premiering Sunday at 9/8c on AMC.
