As the curtain dropped on Mad Men Sunday night, we couldn’t help but feel a bit sad… But we’re also very grateful we had the chance to watch a show that will go down in history as being one of the most fashionable. From the swanky offices of SC&P to Don’s luxuriously hip New York pad, the interiors have never disappointed, nor have the fab fashions. We’ve been watching for seven years though it feels like a lot less and think parting gifts are in order for some of the show’s leading characters. [Spoiler alert!] And while Don would like to “buy the world a Coke” while meditating at a retreat, we’ll be buying these… A Marni dress for Peggy – while we applaud the advent of pant suits, we so love a fun frock.
A decanter for Don in hopes that he’ll cut down on the heavy stuff and turn to fine wines now that he’s found Nirvana…
A silk scarf for Joan – Hermes, of course. Have you ever noticed that in times of crisis, the women of Mad Men wear scarves (read all about it in this post!)
A twisted shot glass for Roger – need we say more?
A pair of “Zou Bisou Bisou” sandals for Megan to go with her insanely short skirts…
and a signet ring for Peter to remind him of his Upper East Side roots while settling down in Wichita.
Farewell Mad Men, and thanks for the memories!
P.S. If you’re a fan, what did you think of the series finale?
