"Thanks!" to many of you, including green_dino (in this post), who let us know that J.Crew updated its home page (click here) with an Inspiration Board. They write: "Our designers are passionate about what they do- from their first sketches to custom colors to making sure each and every piece is perfect (right down to the last detail), especially when it comes to creating inaugural week outfits for the First Family. We are honored to have played a part in their historic week."
The images provide a glimpse into the process that J.Crew undertook to create the pieces that the First Family wore for Inauguration Day. Insights include:For the girls' inauguration outfits, we really wanted luxurious, cozy dresses- with a bit of fluff peeking out from the hem- in the most beautiful colors. The coats are inspired by our crewcuts Herbie coat, which was a favorite from our holiday collection. We're so happy with the way their outfits came out, and there are no words to describe how thrilled we were to see the girls in our clothes. -Jenny, Crewcuts Designer
Every we designed fro the girls became a true inspiration for us... so much so that we hope to include a few similar pieces in our upcoming crewcuts collections.
We loved the idea of a simple shell done in the most exquisite French metallic lace. The cashmere pencil skirt is a classic silhouette and the unique color of the sweater (it's called Golden Cypress) adds great contrast to the other pieces. -Tom, Women's Designer
We're always inspired by people who can effortlessly mix designer pieces with everyday pieces- it perfectly captures the aesthetic here at J.Crew.
What are your thoughts on the Inspiration Board? Do you like or dislike the concept and why? What would you have liked to have seen included? :)
