Yes, Mickey Drexler took over J.Crew in 2003 (and started making vast improvements), but it wasn't until Jenna Lyons (Creative Director since 2007) came on board that the seed of my obsession was planted.
Honestly, I don't even buy much from J.Crew, but I eagerly flip through their catalogs and devour all of the styling. I've gotten so much inspiration from them and I've been especially lusting over all the blingy costume jewelry <3
This past summer, a blogger for Fashionista.com spent the day with Lyons and her interview is pretty interesting. Aside from styling tips, Lyons also answered a lot of logistical questions regarding her role as Creative Director. I also enjoyed the glimpses of inspiration boards that were in the background of some of the pics. Definitely check out Part I and Part II of this interview.
