One of the most appealing things about the look of Starz’ upcoming new drama Magic City, at least, not having seen it yet, is the style and glamorous costume design shown in the promos for the series. Starz released a video today addressing that very topic.

Simon Doonan (Creative Ambassador, Barneys New York) is featured in the video below as he discusses the style of the era, and how people wanted to look in the late ’50’s. We also get plenty of glimpses at Starz’ new drama series, which is set to premiere on April 6 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

As Ike Evans rings in the New Year’s Eve at his luxurious Miramar Playa Hotel, Havana falls to Castro’s rebels. It’s a turbulent time in Miami, but it’s THE place to be. The Kennedys, the mob and the CIA all hold court here. And Ike, is the star of his hotel. To finance his dream, he sold his soul to mob boss Ben “The Butcher” Diamond. Ike’s wife Vera, a former showgirl, and his three kids think he’s an honorable man, but he can’t break his pact with the devil. As Ike’s world threatens to implode, he fights for his family, and the Miramar Playa, in the Magic City.

Magic City’s cast includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olga Kurylenko, Christian Cooke, Steven Strait, and Danny Huston.
