Nick Wooster (Neiman Marcus Group's Fashion Director) mentioned in an interview with Racked that they will have an exclusive with Todd Snyder. He was originally menswear designer at J. Crew, and he's put together a great American sportswear package with European influences. (read also a Q & A with the designer at Gilt)
Anything you need to get ready for summer you can find at www.jcrew.com. Whether it is some great Corgi socks, Alden for J.Crew, Seil Marschall tote, Dickies Shirts, Persol Sunglasses, you named they've got it.
Tweed sportcoats ain't just for Mr. Bean or grumpy old man, if you buy them in a shorter version and tighter to the body, you just kick ass in a tweed jacket. The standard for a tweed sportscoat is Harris Tweed, handwoven by the Islanders of Harris, Lewis, Uist and Barra (Scotland).
I don't know whether Frank Muytjens, J. Crew's Mens Designer is an art lover, but it looks that Pablo Picasso could easily stand next to the J.Crew's spring/summer 2011 model.
Bold on the Street posted some great pics of the J.Crew Spring/Summer 2011, less color more in the way of Mr. Freedom and the Japanese designers would do. Great Toggle coat and tote bag.
