Banana Republic to Launch Collection Inspired by Mad Men

Retailer Banana Republic has teamed up with Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant to create an exclusive collection for the store.
The Mad Men Collection will include both men’s and women’s lines inspired by the critically-acclaimed TV show.
According to Banana Republic, the women’s collection will include 1960s-era pieces like tailored dresses, high-waisted skirts, and silk tie-neck blouses.
The 65-piece capsule collection launches on August 11th and will be available online and in stores throughout North America. Banana Republic hasn’t released specific price points yet, but says they will be in the same range as other items sold in their stores.

Oh GOD i love alll of them….. this is SO my style! Too bad im toooo far away from a Banana Republic store…. :(
Danielle
Every single outfit is beautiful. There is not one that I didn’t mumble a “oh, I like that” in my mind. Although this may hurt my bank card, it would so be worth it!
Kelly
I love those dresses!
Jocelyn
I’m going to buy all of those dresses- all of them. I will tell myself it’s an investment and avoid my bank statement.
!!!!
Ashley
Everything is so cute! Not my style, but I’m sort of in love with the first coat/dress combo.
Monica
I am SO in love with this new line! Too bad Banana Republic is expensive… but it may be worth it.
Aik0
Love, but I think the model is a little to straight-figured for some of those dresses.
Annmarie
Omg, I love this and how appropriate for br!
Samantha
There’s some cute stuff there!
Cara
J’adore! I need as much of this collection as I can budget for…

That houndstooth dress…! I love the suit with gloves, too. All these looks are gorgeous.

Gorgeous, I want it all!

I have an hourglass figure and I’m really looking forward to trying on some of those dresses. I’m so happy that waists are in style now!
Lynn
I am SO excited about this!!! Can’t wait!!!!!
Chasity
OMG I love this! This are all gorgeous, classic pieces that I would love to wear.
Sam
I love the looks but I think they would have had more impact and Mad Men style had they used a curvier figured model.
Olive
wow! I don’t watch Mad Men, but these clothes are so lovely… I want them all!
Mai
Love this collection! Especially all the dresses!
jade
the clothes will look great on an hourglass/ curvy feminine shaped woman
Cortney
These are all perfect! I love Mad Men’s aesthetic, but I don’t watch the show (no cable). I’ll definitely be heading there and picking up 1-2 pieces at least!
Jennifer
I may just start shopping at Banana Republic.
Chelsey
Finally! I love Gap and Banana Republic! I am so excited! This entire line represents one aspect of my style! Now I just have to wait for some stuff to go on clearance! Lol Woo Hoo!
Zoe
Are the sunglasses included? I feel like they make every outfit that much cooler.
Chelsea Rogers
This is an absolutely brilliant idea. I’ve been waiting for a major chain to make 50s or 60s inspired clothing and now one of my favorite stores is going to. I will definately be ordering several of these dresses.
Annie
That first outfit with the coat KILLED me. So classic and sophisticated! And the rest of the collection is beautiful, both feminine and smart. If only I had a deep enough wallet to shop at Banana Republic.
Tamara
This makes me happy! Curvy silhouettes will be flattered~
Tara
