Style: It's a Mad Mod World

Though we don’t envy the love lives of Betty Draper and Joan Holloway from AMC’s hit show Mad Men (returning this summer, set your DVRs!), we do covet their to-die-for ensembles. With form-fitting 1960s feminine silhouettes back in vogue, we’re lucky to have a closetful of vintage shops in Seattle. Combining inspiration from Betty—pearl-clad in timeless Grace Kelly–esque shapes—and Joan—in curve-hugging sexy office wear—local Atomic Bombshells burlesque dancer Kitten LaRue puts the vixen back into vintage with a modern, yet sexy Mad Men look that would have Don Draper at her beck and call.
