J.Crew presented its new collection for the ninth time at New York Fashion Week. The show set the tone for the upcoming Fall Winter 2016-2017 season, with collections for men and women presented on moving mannequins at Spring Studio in lower Manhattan.
“This season, we focused on J.Crew’s DNA by revisiting our classics while giving them a modern, whimsical twist. Unexpected colors in the traditional men’s wardrobe – a playful mix of vibrant prints – a perfect blend of pleated pants and corduroy. These are my favorites from the collection. This season also marks Somsack’s first collection as Director of Women’s Collections. Finding him back on the team was like re-reading your favorite book and rediscovering all the reasons you loved it the first time. He brings a fresh, witty vision to the women’s collection, while having a perfect understanding of the brand. Most importantly – the magic is in the mix.” Jenna Lyons, Director
“The advantage of having been at J.Crew for over 15 years is understanding what feels right and what doesn’t, what feels natural for J.Crew versus what doesn’t… Finding the perfect balance between what’s new and what’s timeless. Designing this collection was almost instinctive” Somsack Sikhounmuong, Director of Women’s Collections.
“J.Crew has a very particular vision of tradition and style. What interests me every season is the way we explore new proportions, new materials and fabrications, as well as new washes and details that give Old-School ideas a whole new approach…It puts must-have classics back into a context that’s both modern and fresh.” Frank Muytjens, Men’s Collections Director
The men’s and women’s collections were presented at the same time to highlight the common aesthetic, with a perfect knowledge of the great classics, artistically reinvented with new proposals and different styling. There’s a colorful palette of chunky cashmere, daring overcoats, playful textures, traditional suits in vivid shades, unstructured blazers, stripes, old-school masculine-inspired details and a reinterpretation of utilitarian pieces and chinos.
