Channeling Betty Draper Today

While we at Vnyc obviously adore vintage we must admit that we are highly cautious when it comes to looking TOO vintage, after all, there is nothing cheaper or more banal than looking too retro, too costumey. And with "Mad Men's" Betty Draper making a vibrant yet sophisticated splash on today's fashion scene, serving as muse to many, we couldn't think of a better way to channel her aesthetic strengths than with this divine 50's inspired MOSCHINO party dress. Its an ultra-femme couture-like MOSCHINO party dress that is made out of a sumptuous almost foamy feeling iridescent red/pink abstract tone-on-tone printed taffeta. It boasts an elegant dropped waist with a pleated bottom half and a dramatic sweetheart neckline with an off-the-shoulder collar complete with a large off-set bow. It may scream 50's drama, Betty Draper and what not, yet something about it's composition in this heavily filled decade of revivals feels crisply modern, and totally fresh.

Kids do the Dandiest Things!

We couldn't help but feel but feel a little more than envious looking at how intuitively stylish eight-year old Arlo Weiner(son of  Mad Men producer Matt Weiner, today's most stylish show) is while describing his own personal Frank Sinatra inspired, angelically dandy looks on MensStyle.com. If this is this what growing up in a decade of edited revivals and globalism can look like, maybe some things in the world aren't going so bad after all!

Golden Globes Best Dressed: January Jones

This past Sunday the Golden Globes celebrated it's 66th annual awards show, and as usual, fashion-wise, it was a typically diluted affair. While starlets and their stylists love throwing the cliche term "old Hollywood glamor" out as much as possible, there are very few who manage to pull it off with any grace and good taste. Today that term basically translates to "safe" in a boring and even cowardly manner. No one seems to take chances or have any style that they can truly call their own. And while we may have recently seen her out-&-about in some questionable D&G and Ferragamo numbers, this past Sunday January Jones from "Mad Men" looked so cool, and so downright amazing in a manner that strictly felt very today! Jones was stunning in an icy blue matte satin Versace number that not only had a very Blade Runner/Thierry Mugler/40's starlet appeal to it, but it also geniously had pockets! Not only is she a beauty, but she is also a very, very exceptional actress! If she has a stylist out there, this time they did her well!
