The hit AMC show "Mad Men" has inspired vintage fashions with its portrayal of the men and women at Madison Avenue advertising in the 60's. And now they're teaming up with another 60's icon, Barbie, to debut a new line of "Mad Men" Barbie dolls.

Barbie will go back in time to when it debuts the 1959  versions of "Mad Men" characters including Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency creative director Don Draper (Jon Hamm), wife Betty Draper (January Jones), partner Roger Sterling (John Slattery), and office manager Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks).

Set to debut in July, the collection designed by Barbie designer Robert Best will highlight the show's 1960's fashion style and accessories, including Don Draper's red-lined suit complete with hat and briefcase, Betty Draper's pearls and pumps, Roger Sterling's monogrammed shirt, and Joan Holloway's purple skirt suit and pen necklace.

The new collection is the first of the new signature Barbie Fashion Model Collection. The collection features dolls made of Silkstone, which resembles the look of porcelain.

Sketches for each of the dolls can be found in the Season 3 DVD of "Mad Men," which hits stores on March 23rd. The dolls themselves will retail for $75 and will be available in select stores and on the Barbiecollector.com website.
