The Olsen’s haute fashion line Elizabeth and James has a hot campaign for this fall. The backdrop of their lookbook is undeniably inspired by the 1960s setting of the show 'Mad Men.' With vintage cars, diners and traditional family roles, the lookbook views more like a story than a fashion collection, which I find to be highly intriguing.
