43 ‘Mad Men' Innovations

From Hot Housewife Covers to Dieting TV Dolls

— August 26, 2010 — Pop Culture
AMC's 'Mad Men' television series has been going strong since its inception. As a Emmy and Golden Globe winner and center for retro culture, the show inspires everything from fashion and magazine to smoking and drinking trends.

Check out these 'Mad Men' finds, hot housewife covers to dieting TV dolls, to indulge in a little 1960s psychedelia.

Implications - Old school products and concepts are all the rage these days. Since Mad Men has appeared on TV, consumers have been hooked on blasts from the past -- and the media has taken notice. Fashion designers and artists have retrofied just about anything and so far it has worked surprisingly well. The culture of the 50s or 60s may not exist in our modern society, but its presence is still dominating, reminding us that the classics are here to stay and they will continue to have a strong compact on future generations.
