ELLE News Blog:Meet Jenna Lyons’ Nine Muses for J. Crew


ELLE News Blog:Meet Jenna Lyons’ Nine Muses for J. Crew

More on my fixation, from the article:
"First Marc Jacobs, now J.Crew. For the brand’s spring collection, creative director Jenna Lyons enlisted real, albeit wildly chic, women to model the season’s offering of ruffle tops, leather bombers, floaty gowns, and crackled pencil skirts (Jacobs mixed non-models into his fall 2010 runway showduring New York fashion week). Last night in SoHo, Lyons and co. celebrated the nine “muse-worthy” women—interior designer Celerie Kemble, curator Naomi Beckwith, and author Amanda Brooks among them. Lyons explained that all of the women are “either friends of mine, or have become friends”. She met Beckwith, a curator at The Studio Museum of Harlem, through Thelma Golden. Another muse, stylist Dianna Lunt, was spotted by the J. Crew team on The Sartorialist. A little “cyber-stalking” ensued and, before long, Lunt was booked to model in the March catalogue. Of Lunt, Lyons admits to having a bit of a “girl crush.” Growing up, Lyons was first inspired by Isabella Rossellini’s style. “She represented smart beauty. Her look was my first introduction to uniform dressing—very chic and simple.” Just like J.Crew’s latest collection. Click here to read more about the muses,  and here to shop their looks."
