J. Crew Spring 2011 - Fashion and Design News and Trends - WWD.com
Posted FRIDAY NOVEMBER 5, 2010
From WWD.COM
"J. Crew’s spring presentation, held Thursday at Milk Studios, flaunted the label’s signature boy-girl blend while working in the season’s biggest runway trends. There were electric colors in a neon pink shorts-and-sweater combination; those much-talked-about longer lengths via maxi skirts, one done in blue sequins; a shirt dress, and even a YSL reference or two by way of a short off-shoulder peasant dress. It was all rendered well within the J. Crew vocabulary — meaning wearable — with even the sequined, shiny, dressed-up pieces styled with a modern, casual attitude. And now that Jenna Lyons holds the title of president as well as executive creative director, she stepped back and let Marissa Webb, vice president of women’s design, do the talking. Lyons, Webb and all the models were wearing Day-Glo orange lipstick. As Webb explained, the work of abstract painter Hans Hofmann, particularly his use of color and structure, was a big influence, “but carried back to what we’re best known for,” meaning that all important mix."  |

I love the day-glo orange lipstick and continued themes with sequins. I do think many of the pieces are quite wearable. What do you think? I also like the use of bright colors which seem to pop throughout rather than an expected and muted Spring theme that we tend to see on the runways for this collection. If this is the preview to come for J. Crew in 2011 then I love it so far. Any thoughts?
I love colour and love seeing more of it in the spring collection!
