J.Crew Friday

I hopped on GQ.com (ne’ men.style.com) this morning and was happy to see that GQ Creative Director, Jim Moore, had a review of J.Crew’s Spring 2010 collection complete with slideshow. By now you all know what a huge fan I am of J.Crew, Frank Muytjens (head of menswear) and Jenna Lyons (creative director), and they certainly do not disappoint for Spring, which will be in stores beginning in January. Chambray continues to be a core piece in the collection, and I love the twist on the classic in red (shown here). It seems that Jim and I have very similar thoughts on J.Crew and the collection, so I’ll defer to his commentary in the GQ review.

Coincidentally, this morning I was just out of the shower and looking for something to wear downtown for Black Friday shopping when I happened to put on the Martha Stewart Show, and surprise, Martha had Jenna on to discuss the Holiday collection. Jenna showed several looks from Holiday, discussed the creative process, and how the brand puts together those gorgeous catalogs that I look forward to every month.

After the J.Crew filled morning, I of course had to hit them up on my Black Friday shopping, and the store was, of course, mobbed.
