While we're huge fans of Marc overall, this video definitely adds to his charm. In a candid interview on his life, habits and inspirations we get a rare glimpse into the designer's thoughts.
On Paris "nothing can ever be the same as it was the first time- whether you came into something at 15 or 50 it doesn't really matter."

And just like that, Mad Men season 5 seems like it's gone in the blink of an eye! And guess what, Don actually made it an entire season without cheating... at least on-screen. While the twitterverse spewed out many mixed reactions to the season 5 finale last night, I appreciated it for all of the unspoken moments. The inner dialogue that has been central to characters like Don, Peggy, Pete and even Roger.
June 7, 2012 at 5:54 PM Kari "Cruziiie" Cruz "There’s this sentiment I sometimes sense, creeping in our collective conscious... that it is somehow too late. That others are somehow ahead. More accomplished, more specialized. More on the path to somehow saving the world, somehow creating or inventing or improving. That it’s too late now to BEGIN a beginning and we must settle for continuance.... What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over... The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical. It’s hilarious... We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have." - Marina Keega

While many of us admire the way Peggy Olson is able to take charge at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce - her character might not have existed without the real-life inspiration of Jane Maas. Maas, who would like to be counted among the founding mothers of advertising- started her career as a copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather in the 1960s and rose to creative director soon after. She would later move on to top creative positions at shops including Wells Rich Greene, where she worked on the famous “I Love New York” state tourism campaign. “This great advertising has many fathers,” she says. “But I am its only mother.”
At age 80, she still consults for clients like liquor conglomerate Brown-Forman and Madison Square Garden Corporation. She’s also just kicked off a 40-city tour promoting her third book, Mad Women, a look back at how the agency old boys' club treated the fairer sex. Adweek caught up with Maas to reflect on her stories from the creative revolution—and get her perspective on what’s changed for women since- read the full interview below, Jane offers some candid views on women in the biz today & the juggling act they play.
April 9, 2012 at 2:29 PM Kari "Cruziiie" Cruz Mad Men always seems to end their episodes with the perfect song. Last night was no exception! The words are just as eery as the vibe of the show & we cannot stop listening as we try to figure out how Don's nightmare will pan out in the rest of the series.
