Nope, there is nothing crazy about my headline.

Banana Republic has recently launched a limited collection in collaboration with the Emmy Award-winning TV Series “Mad Men”. This collection  is designed by Banana Republic together with “Mad Men” Costume Designer Janie Bryant. The collection is inspired by the hit series  and  offers a modern take on the cool polish and panache of the 1960s era through the Banana Republic lens of affordable luxury and noticeable quality. The collection features nearly 29 pieces of apparel and accessories for men and women, embodying the style tenants of the time – effortlessly chic, dressed-up American sportswear. The men’s collection includes chunky-meets-streamlined knit sweaters, tailored suit separates and fitted trousers, as well as the classic accessory with character, the fedora hat.

Janie was instrumental in helping us achieve the series aesthetic and standard of authenticity with this capsule collection, offering sketches, her own inspirations and actual artifacts from the production set to help inspire the ‘Mad Men’ within all of us. –  Simon Kneen, Banana Republic Creative Director

 It’s so rewarding to help create a collection that will allow fans of the series to channel their own ‘Mad Men’ style and take home fashionable items that are modern, not costume.- Janie Bryant

Part of the Banana Republic “Mad Men” Collection will be carried in Banana Republic stores in Singapore from mid-August, 2011 onwards. See the gallery below.
