The Mad Men Fashion Spectacular

Well: the most exciting fashion night of Mad Men ever? Er….

No. But there were some really beautiful color palettes, like this one above.

And again poor Allison, with her red hair, seafoam top, and olive-green—mustard?—cardigan—plus her scarab brooch .

And here: the royal blue, mustard, forest green, and … is that rust? We need a J. Crew catalogue here.

Even this is really beautiful, with Trudy’s burnt-orange dress, the deep blue-green wall, and the gold screen.

Here’s another look at Trudy’s dress.

The rest of the episode. Well. Not quite as exciting.

Especially this one:

Here’s a couple last looks at Allison and her scarab brooch:

A couple random final shots. Oh, Peggy, and her tie-front blouses:

The French-extracted girl:

Joyce from Life, upstairs:

Trudy’s green dress and strong lips:

And finally, thankfully, Joan. Not a lot we’d want to emulate here, but still better than anything else we saw last week.
