Book Description

Nov 4 2010
From Joanie's Marilyn Monroe-esque pencil skirts to Betty's classic Grace Kelly cupcake dresses, the clothes worn by the characters of the phenomenal Mad Men have captivated fans everywhere. Now, women are trading in their khakis for couture and their pumas for pumps. Finally, it's hip to dress well again. Emmy-Award winning costume designer Janie Bryant offers readers a peek into the dressing room of Mad Men, revealing the design process behind the various characters' looks and showing every woman how to find her own leading lady style--whether it's vintage, modern, or bohemian.

Bryant's book will peek into the dressing room of Mad Men and reveal the design process behind the various characters' looks. But it will also help women learn how fashion can help convey their personality. She will help them cultivate their style, including all the details that make a big difference.

Bryant offers advice to ensure that a woman's clothes convey her personality. She covers everything from where to find incredible vintage clothing and accessories to how to pair those authentic pieces with modern shoes and jeans. Readers will learn how to find their perfect bra size, use color to convey a mood, and invest in the ten essentials every woman should own. And just so the ladies don't leave their men behind, there's even a section on making them look a little more Don Draper-dashing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, but nothing new Jun 30 2011
Format:Hardcover
I don't want to be unfair, but I expected so much more from a style book by the costume designer of a successful period drama. The 60's marked the end of so many of the more refined elements of style, such as hats and gloves, and serious foundation garments. I see all of these elements on display on the show; overall I think Mad Men has raised the bar for authenticity in costuming... So when I found the book lacking "in-depth" anything, I was let down.

The Fashion File is beautifully illustrated, and has all of the categories and themes one would expect to find in a style guide. But that's where it ends. For instance, I expected details on care for vintage garments, but instead found only three paragraphs.

This is a fantastic "getting started" manual for the uninitiated, but if you've read a few style books and pick up the occasional fashion magazine, this book isn't likely to add much to your fashion wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful tips for the new you Feb 9 2011
By Slim
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A wonderful book that will help each and everyone of us (including those who think they are plump) become aware of our best assets and exploit them. Her suggestions about colors, accessories and even a new self-image could be life-changing and they are not limited to vintage looks. I enjoy reading about the Mad Men actresses' vintage underwear and the perfection that goes into the author creating exquisite wardrobes for the actors. Well written, it shows aesthetically beautiful drawings and it's easy to read. Tips you will never forget. Well worth the money.
