Stylish fashion from America
Cool, cooler, J.Crew! Everything you need to know about the hip US label and its charismatic head designer Jenna Lyons, read here!
Just like the American label itself, its chief designer Jenna Lyons is hard to miss: in high heels, she measures a proud 1.90m, her outfits could not be more colorful and on her nose always sits a striking black horn-rimmed glasses.
From a fashion point of view, this works: The J.Crew chief designer dares a lot, but always wins and is celebrated internationally for her style. Jenna Lyons has spent her entire career with J.Crew, jokingly even saying that the "J" in J.Crew stands for Jenna. Already in 1990, she entered the company as a young graduate, who at the time was engaged in catalog trade.
When J.Crew could no longer build on past successes, the new CEO Millard "Mickey" Drexler radically changed the label. He asked designer Jenna Lyons to sort out everything she did not think fit with J.Crew and to refill it with new designs. Lyon's fancy and high-quality designs quickly became the label's brand and steadily boosted sales.
Today, J.Crew is best known for his simple cuts and colorful patterns, which Jenna Lyons loves to wear and combines with her favorite designers such as Céline or Christian Louboutin .
The joyous style of J.Crew's chief designer has allured America and even President Obama and his family - wife Michelle and the daughters are big J.Crew fans and are regularly clothed by the label.
We've been in love with the cool J.Crew parts for a while now. If you feel like sweetening your day with colorful fashion, just stop by the J.Crew online shop.
