The Etiquette of Mad Men

John Slattery in Etiquette as featured in GQ

What makes Mad Men look so damn good? What begins with a nice slim fitting suit is taken to the next level with classic menswear accessories that complete the look and make a man into a mad man. Ties, pocket squares, and socks add splashes of color that interrupt the darkness of a suit and allow a little more creative expression.

So when the editors of GQ were putting together a feature on John Slattery, better known as Roger Sterling, they turned to Etiquette socks for that extra pop. Every pair of socks is made in Italy and boasts the best materials and construction for the perfect timeless piece.  So next time you want to look like a Mad Men, head over to Scoop and check out the collection.

Marina Callis

Friday, March 18th, 2011

We all know that beautiful fabrics and textiles are the foundations of a quality garment, but we rarely think of this medium as the groundwork for jewelry.  Enter Marina Callis, and her collection of artfully assembled textile accessories.  Callis uses various fabrics and ribbons to create headbands, necklaces, bracelets, rings, pins and other pieces that remind us of intricate origami sculptures. According to Callis, who launched her line in 2000, “the objective of each creation is to transgress the limit between accessory and cloth.”  There is such transgression, in fact, that some of her pieces have ended up in museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
