AMC just released a stunning set of promotional photos for the coming sixth season of Mad Men. In the gallery below, the color set depicts the cast at a black tie affair, and the black and white images capture the gang in day-to-day business kit.
As the story moves further into the 1960s and closer to the 1970s, it’s interesting to see the progression of the hair, makeup and dress on the women while the men remain, for the most part, largely unchanged in their sartorial choices. As I’ve argued on this blog, the timeless, trend-proof suit has been somewhat locked since the dawn of the modern suit in the late 1950s, with minor fluctuations (and major misfires in judgment) in widths and lengths over the decades. Surely we’ll see ties and lapels start to get wider in this season, and, as far as grooming, we might see more sideburns start to drop, like Pete Campbell’s in the photos.
Season 6 of Mad Men kicks off with a special two-hour premiere on Sunday, April 7, 9/8c. It looks like Don & Co. will be making 1967 look awfully good…
