The producers of Mad Men being notoriously tight-lipped, we can’t share any details of the show’s highly-anticipated sixth season (premiering this week on AMC). But some newly-released publicity stills do give us some insight into what’s next in fashion for Don Draper and co. With pops of color and wild prints galore, the late 60s are definitely here. Even stuffy Pete Campbell is rocking side burns this season, while Don Draper can be seen in a blue and white printed shirt under his camel jacket. The most ‘60s outfit of them all can be seen on Jessica Pare, who plays Don’s young wife Megan. Standing in what looks like a beach scene, Megan is wearing a big white floppy hat with a multicolored psychedelic-print blouse and large round sunglasses. She definitely looks ready for the Summer of Love. Can the same be said for the rest of Sterling Cooper? Guess we’ll have to tune in to find out!
4 Latina Fashion Designers Who Are Changing the Industry with Culture
It’s no secret that the fashion industry has always grappled with the issue of representation, and Latino representation is no exception. The glossy catwalks of the 80s and 90s were nearly completely dominated by the (white), nepotistic European fashion houses of the day with little room for Latino designers to showcase their talents, let alone share their culture with the world; for the few that did exist–Carolina Herrera and Isabel Toledo come to mind–their Latino identities were noticeably secondary to their work. But now it’s 2023, and though the industry is not without faults, Latino/a fashion enthusiasts can now see their cultures and experiences reflected in fashion at all levels. While plenty of Latino men have made their way in the fashion world, I’d like to specifically focus on the women–who have been historically vastly overlooked–who are changing the game and pushing the boundaries of design by bringing Latin America to high fashion.
