The MadMen show is a hit (3.50 mio viewers on the premiere day, last March, in the US).

International Broadcasting. Multiple awards winner.

So, it was bound to happen. Now, 60’s elegance is inescapable if you are a city-dweller. It is impossible to pretend it is not there. And what zing this has !

In 2009-10 already,  Banana Republic stores in the US displayed clothing inspired by the series. They have teamed up again with MM prod/costume department to market  a limited Spring collection.

Fully advertised in Vanity Fair’s April issue.

 



Timeless elegance.

Calvin Klein, Brioni, Hickey Freeman, Hugo Boss, Brunello Cucinelli ads, in April VF issue.

Mad Men fashion is upon us. Well…more tight tailored preppy jackets, tightly fitting polo shirts and impeccable slacks…  that’s better than baggy worn out jeans and shapeless Tees.  Time has come to dig out vintage gems and glamour.

…with a coffee spoon… in the Library

Today, I need to extra-focus. I got to be making progress.

This work on Mallory MUST get significantly dealt with. I need to write more. Perhaps I have to climb Mount Everest myself too to find enlightenment….

As for now, I think, I’ll just need this helper…

… all day long, particularly in the library (where I will stay, glued on my computer, writing, writing, writing, correcting, again and again and again)…

I’ll take also my hot water in a thermos with me and get my caffeine as others just step outside to smoke their cig. With that other little helper.

To brew this.

Newbies (to me at least) from Starbs, found in the store yesterday night.

It’s  been 87 years and 11 months today that George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Irvine lost their lives high on the top of the world, about 500ft short of the summit.Next month, the 8th of june, it will be exactly  88 years that they have been resting on the mountain.

In memoriam.
