EXCLUSIVE: Estee Lauder X Mad Men

In today’s world of big screen-to-beauty counter collaborations, it’s a wonder how AMC’s Mad Men has gone four seasons without a makeup range spin-off. The drama’s costume designer, Janie Bryant, teamed up with Nailtini to launch a four-piece collection of lacquers in 2010, but for a show that owns retro glamor (you could argue that the Spring runways’ obsession with cat-eyes stemmed directly from January Jones’ and Christina Hendricks’ on-set winged liner), it seems like a crime that someone…

Introducing The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra-Thin Tribute To Mad Men

Since its introduction in 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso has acted as the blank slate on which so many great stories have been told and tributes have been paid.  Now, in 2012, one more tribute will be made using the Reverso, one that in our opinion, couldn’t make more sense.

In 2007, Matthew Weiner and the team from AMC introduced a television show about 1960s Ad Men that has since not only become the first television show in history to win the…

Penny Stock Autumn/Winter 2011 Lookbook

Californian label Penny Stock, brainchild of John Moore and Michael Abbey, are a little unusual in the menswear game. You see they offer all those American staples, clever touches of design detail, a nod to (dare we say it) ‘heritage’ influenced design and an impressive one man and his beard lookbook. However, what sets them apart is their dedication to quality at a reasonable price. Yes, a lookbook you can shop from without fear of offending your wallet. A…

Just over two years since Farrah Fawcett’s death from cancer at the age of 62, two reminders of happier moments in her life and career are appearing, and both are related to the iconic Bruce McBroom poster that helped launch not just Fawcett’s career but also the feathered hairstyle that defined a generation.
