autumn/winter 2015, J Crew, Jenna Lyons, New York Fashion Week - a/w 2015, separates, style inspiration

 

In past, I have regarded J Crew garments

as reliable, affordable, Ivy League type campus wear-

nostalgic of my collegiate years-

no longer is this the case!

 

…

In recent years, the clothing label has made a meteoric ascent

into the stratosphere of fashion worthy inspired dress.

This is due, in no small measure,

to the on-course style direction of creative head-   Jenna Lyons.

 

…

Creative Head,  J  Crew

…

Ms. Lyons assumed leadership of the label in 2008.

As a woman with her own strong dress aesthetics:

quirky, androgynous and a love obsession with sequins-

she promptly proceeded to transform the label into in her own image

and with tremendous success!

 

…

As with the label she now heads, Ms. Lyons herself is a story of transformation.

Born with incontinentia pigmenti, a genetic skin disorder

which presents with uneven pigment, teeth and hair lost-

Ms. Lyons, teased unmercifully as a child

never felt herself to be beautiful.

She found beauty in the things around her

and the art and fashion design she created:

“I searched for ways to make things more beautiful and surrounded myself with beautiful things because I didn’t feel that in myself … I felt a huge drive to make clothes that everybody could have because I felt ostracized by that world of beauty and fashion.”  (quote from fast.company.com)

 

Today, standing  at a model-esque height with body and style verve to match-

Ms. Lyons embodies the new J Crew woman.

She is what she purports:

intelligent, savvy, witty, confident, distinctive

and looking fabulous in the process.
