J Crew at Fashion week

Love these mood boards from

J CREW

who showed for the first time on the official

New York Fashion week

 schedule this morning



Topshop in london

also now have a place on the official

 London Fashion Week schedule

How do we feel about this ?

High street was the follower

Now they are being given a place at the table with the leaders

Have they become leaders?

Do they set trends.......

Well in my opinion

in these 2 cases, then Yes they do

The influence of J Crew on how

 America dresses is not to be underestimated

Certainly from what I see on the streets of NY

J Crew is definitely influencing and not just being influenced

They do have a point of view

a unique point of view

and it is very apparent in the way

women and men are dressing.

Also people are styling themselves to look like J Crew

without necessarily wearing J Crew

Which surely is a sign of a reach that is beyond what one might have traditionally

expected from the high street
