The Emmy-award winning costume designer Janie Bryant has launched her first menswear line that is not just “Hollywood inspired” but also depicts her love for fashion and cinema together, reports Hollywoodreporter.com.

“I’ve been wanting to do a menswear line for over a decade,” says Janie Bryant, who got an Emmy for ‘Mad Men’.

She has collaborated with menswear brand Inherent Clothier for the collection.

‘Mad Men’ was a huge point of inspiration when designing the line, but other influences can be seen in the clothes as well, like Bryant’s work on HBO’s series ‘Deadwood’.

“We wanted to be inspired by the ’60s, for sure, and Don Draper; I love the 1960s for menswear…But my love of menswear really started when I was designing Deadwood; that’s such a menswear show. There’s a lot of influence from the 1930s and the 1940s as well….And I was really inspired by Hollywood and cinema and filmmaking,” she said.

Bryant also says that designing a collection during a pandemic was not an easy ride.

“…we really needed to sit down face to face and look at all the fabrics, do all the colors together, really develop the line in terms of all the pieces we wanted to incorporate. So, we really did need to have that in-person design session together. I really prefer it, anyway; I’m a very hands-on designer, so I really love to be a part of that process. That was important to me,” she said.
