J.Crew’s Mickey Drexler Hates Shopping Malls
J.Crew head honcho Mickey Drexler is a retail legend who isn’t known to mince words. So it’s no surprise he didn’t think twice about criticizing the very thing that makes him a whole lot of money: the not-so-great American shopping mall.

J.Crew’s Spring Collection Is As Delightful As It Is Derivative
Who doesn’t love J.Crew? Or perhaps the better question is: who doesn’t love Jenna Lyons? She has the remarkable ability to design things that are at once fashionably on target and broadly accessible — and her Spring 2012 collection for the brand is no exception. It’s bright and punchy and quirky in all the right ways. In fact, it’s so on trend that we can’t help but theorize just where some of Lyons’ inspiration came from.
5 Things We Just Learned And Now Love About Jenna Lyons
Jenna Lyons‘ profile in the Fall Fashion Issue of New York Magazine may just be the most fawning feature we’ve ever read written of a human being, which would be annoying, if it wasn’t about Jenna Lyons, which is to say: it’s totally accurate. It’s also totally fascinating, mainly because we learned so much about her, including the fact that she suffers from a disfiguring genetic disease.

Is There Really Anything Offensive About This J.Crew Catalog Photo?
Mere weeks after an image of J.Crew president and creative director Jenna Lyons painting her son’s toenails pink sparked a gender identity controversy, the brand has fed social conservatives even more fodder. An online image featuring a male J.Crew designer with his boyfriend is already getting attention as an affront to traditional values.
Did J.Crew Steal This Leopard Print From A Fancy Dead Designer?
Normally when mid-level clothing retailers get sued for trademark infringement, the papers get served from high-end fashion houses. But last week, J.Crew got slammed with a lawsuit by none other than Tony Duquette Inc., a high-end home design, furniture and jewelry firm. The suit claims J.Crew’s leopard-print cardigan “infringed its trademarks and constituted unfair competition.”
J. Crew Is Trying Desperately To Sell You A Denim Jumpsuit
We love J.Crew and we love sales, so putting them together is usually cause for celebration. Two things that should never be put together? Handsanded denim and the word “jumpsuit.” Oh, Jenna Lyons, how did you let this one through?
10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: April 10-16
This week saw the reemergence of John Galliano, the pervasiveness of Lady Gaga, and the continued dominance of the royal wedding. There were all sorts of bans (tanning! saggy pants! burkas!), a couple of lawsuits, and a contrived J. Crew “controversy”. There were even jean underpants!
Fox News Slams J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons For Painting Her Son’s Toenails
The people at Fox News are seriously upset over a J.Crew feature that popped up on the brand’s site this weekend. In it, J.Crew’s creative director Jenna Lyons is pictured painting her son Beckett‘s toenails pink. The image is accompanied by the text, “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon.” When we saw the ad, we thought it was adorable. That pink is really close to Styleite pink, after all. But a number of media commenters and Fox writers fear the ad might encourage children to become transgendered.
WATCH: J. Crew’s Trip To Italy Induces Serious Wanderlust
The J. Crew design team (headed up by the lovely Jenna Lyons) recently jetted off to Italy in search of the finest shoes, fabrics and prints. They had director Douglas Keeve (he of Unzipped and Seamless fame) document the whole thing in three installments, the last of which was released this week.
The Fighting Words On Both Sides Of J.Crew’s Private Sale
J.Crew is fighting back against Institutional Shareholder Services, which advised the company’s shareholders to vote against the classic brand’s $3 billion sale to TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners just yesterday.
Shareholders Not Happy With Terms Of J.Crew’s Private Sale
A group of J.Crew shareholders is unsatisfied with the the amount of money the clothing company is selling for — and how the $3 billion dollar sticker price was achieved — so they’re pursuing legal action.
Sears And Urban Outfitters Want To Buy J.Crew
We thought that the deal to take J.Crew private was more or less done, but there are four companies giving some thought to countering TPG’s offer to buy the brand (and the entirety of its cool factor) for $3 billion. Two of those companies are private equity firms for whom such a deal might make sense. But the other two businesses in the running, Sears and Urban Outfitters, would make pretty strange bedfellows for J.Crew.
