Madmen1

We flagged it up some time back, but now it looks like the first items in the official Mad Men Collection are now available to buy online at Banana Republic.

The items have landed in the US store (which does international shipping), with clothing and accessories for both men and women designed by Janie Bryant, who designed the costumes for the TV show.

Some examples above and over the page. Above, you can see the lace tipped dress, with short sleeves, a draped neckline, a lace trim at neck and hem, invisible back zip and vented back hem. That sells for $150. The other is the lace dress, which has cap sleeves, a boat neckline and invisible back zip. $130 for that.

Calfhairgloves

When it comes to the smaller accessories it's often much easier to get away with a bigger statement, which is perfect for the more daring retro looks out there. These Leopard Print Driving Gloves from Agent Provocateur provide a lot of luxury in one small package, with an obvious vintage influence thrown in.

Gloves may have fallen out of regular favour, but a pair like these are good enough to find an occasion for. Made from a leopard print calf hair fabric, the red accents add a kitschy retro glamour that avoids being tacky thanks to the superb cut and quality.

They're available online from Net-a-Porter for £250.

Moniquedress

To carry off a bold retro print, designers have to get the cut and shape of any piece just right for a true vintage feel. Heartbreaker Fashion rarely put a foot wrong, hitting the mark once more with this simple but stylish Monique Dress.

Shown here in their new print, aptly named Summer, they've plumped for a classic swing dress style that's ideal for the season. With a high neckline, sleeveless cut and subtle flaring at the skirt, the cute addition of a bow at the waist is made all the more effective by blending with the all-over print.

It's available now from Heartbreaker Fashion online for $90.

Paisley Print Dress from Dorothy Perkins

Paisleydress

Along with a wide variety of bold prints, paisley came to the peak of its popularity in women's fashion during the 1960s. Coupling the classic print with bright, psychedelic colours, this Paisley Print Dress captures that later sixties and early seventies aesthetic in an easy to wear item.

The dress has a relaxed cut, with a loose fit and capped sleeves creating a seventies silhouette that's reminiscent of the kimono styles popular at the time. The mini hemline ties into that crossover of eras, while the combination of florals into the paisley print adds a feminine retro appeal.

Cape Back Dress from Halston Heritage

Capebackdress

Although the seventies trend that's swept this Summer's high street collections has brought plenty of great vintage inspired designs, there's never anyone quite so en pointe as the original designers. Taking inspiration from the house's original designs, this Cape Back Dress comes from Halston's Heritage line.

In a vibrant shade of coral, the mini dress is elevated beyond the ordinary by chic draping and rich fabric. The cape back design creates a head-turning silhouette, against the simplicity of the sleeveless dress cut.

It's now available in the UK from Matches Fashion for £398.
