Oh, what most of us would give to have lived in the sixties. The freedom! The music! Woodstock! It may have been an eon before any of us were born, but the swingin’ sixties have made a massive comeback of late. Mad Men is a ode to the lives of business men and women in those changing times, and in celebration of the buzz the TV show has generated, The Marriott are premiering their first sixties-inspired cocktail party and fashion parade.
Most of us have watched Mad Men, or heard about it from our cooler friends, so chances are you're familiar with the premise of the show. Essentially, Don Draper is this mysterious and sexy ad-agency exec who spends the majority of his time being elusive and cheating on his wife. Mad Men knowledge aside, we all know what we were missing back then. Luckily, so does The Marriott, and on their Mad Martini night, you can expect swinging beats, canapés, a fashion parade, photographs from QueensPlaza's recent Mad Men exhibition, and of course, lots and lots of martinis.
Channel your inner Don or Betty Draper this Friday and relive what was some of the best times we never had.
