Mad Men just keeps getting better! This week, we saw the women of the show go through very intense emotions—Megan craved Don’s attention again, Joan showed her frustration, and Peggy proved her innocence—and their wardrobe helped tell the story thanks to the work of costume designer Janie Bryant. “Everything has a meaning,” Bryant told InStyle.com this week. “That is my job as the costume designer: To tell the story and evoke those emotions for the characters and the audience.” Click through to find out all the details on this week’s looks for episode six of Mad Men‘s sixth season.

The happy-to-dark nature of Mad Men‘s lastest episode (season six, episode five, “The Flood”)—which told the story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination through the reactions of the characters—was as much reflected in the scenes and dialogue as it was in the clothing. “It was a big episode for costume design,” costume designer Janie Bryant (shown inset) told InStyle.com. “The colors reflect the mood of the show. It changes from the colors in the beginning [like Peggy in sunny yellow while shopping for an apartment] to the dark palette after the assassination. It’s like life. One moment you think everything is beautiful and cheery and sunny, and there are moments in everyone’s life that something sad and dark happens. I wanted to evoke that darkness for all of the characters.” And she did just that—just after the bad news was delivered, the bright palette seen at the formal awards ceremony turned dark and mournful.

On last night’s episode of Mad Men, “To Have and to Hold,” fans of the show saw the main female characters in three very different states of dress–all purposeful, thought-out decisions made by costume designer Janie Bryant. Megan’s pink brocade sleeveless dress used fashion to impress while Joan’s vintage floral dress used style to show her new authoritative role as a women who goes from office day to night on the town. ”That dress is reminiscent of silhouettes from past seasons, and stands in contrast to the power suits she’s been wearing,” Bryant told InStyle.com. “It’s a little bit more old-fashioned, and I felt it was important to harken back to the past.” Click the photo above to find out more about the costume choices, including that scandalous French maid outfit Megan wore.
