    The last outfit Peggy wore strutting down the hallway will always be my favorite. It’s how I think of her, and is completely iconic.

    My favourite Glow up is Peggy! Poor girl had the most hedious outfits, especially season one but the final episodes of the series she looked amazing. Especially when she walks into the new office with the octopus painting, Ray-Bans and a cigarette in her mouth.

      I don’t even think they were hideous, just for her. Like the dress she had in the first episode would have been cute on someone else but Joan’s right, it makes Peggy look like a child

    Loved this video! When I rewatched S4 lately I noticed that Dr Faye dresses in a lot of dark blue while Meghan dresses in sunny yellows and bright tones. Their outfits often oppose each other and it shows Don's struggle as he chooses between them :)

    My fave dress is of course Meghans blue mini. Besides her and her to die for 60s evening frocks in general Betty had the best wardrobe up until she married Francis where her clothing got very matronly. Except for that mod number when she went out with Francis and met Don on a date. I loved her mini dress and it was very unconventional for Betty to wear sth like that

    I love how the conference table is littered with crab cocktails during the first meeting with Rachel Menkin. It demonstrates just how clueless the men of Sterling Cooper were.

    The plot twist at the end of Season 1 had me floored, because even though it was pointed out that Peggy had gained weight throughout the final episodes, I did not see the pregnancy coming. I think Elisabeth Moss said that Peggy's weight gain in the first season is a response to all the objectification and crude comments, which is so relatable for many women, because it's often the things people say around others that contribute to a person's perspective on body image and even self esteem. The storytelling and finer details on this show, in things like the costumes, was beyond well done.

    I think it would be interesting if you assessed characters that dress in more modern day to day clothing. A show that comes to mind for me is girls, I think the difference in style between the four main characters says a lot about the roles millennial woman are put into.

    • @KasiaSopniewska
      @KasiaSopniewska  10 місяців тому

      @Seetheairahhh, that's a fantastic idea! The thing is that I wanted to make a Girls rewatch series here on UA-cam. I watched two seasons and realized I don't have anything groundbreaking to say about this show and so I scraped this project XD

    When Don and Megan announced their engagement at the office, everyone was in dark, drab colors except Megan. She was wearing a scarlet red dress and was the center if attention (and gossip.) It was perfect!

    i really like betty's outfits in the fog (05x03), they mirror her mentality and character traits perfectly, the yellow and purple dress she wears on her dream while giving birth is figure holding and curvy, yet a little childlish and the baby pink coat she wears when coming back home is feminine and delicate, it's always those ones that comes to mind when i think of her aside from the sad clown dress

    Sterling Coopers serving of shrimp cocktails to a Jewish client shows their ignorance of Jewish culture as observant Jews only eat seafood with fins and scales and shrimp, a crustacean, doesn't fit this criteria.
    and therefore is not Kosher.

    • @oooh19
      @oooh19 4 місяці тому

      Plenty of Jewish people eat it anyway
