That outfit, put together is absolutely horrific. The shirt, alone, is cute. The skirt is cute. The shoes--I have no comment. Put it all together and it is worse than a hot mess!

And as a snowboarder, if he is really doing that jump, I don't think he's going to rotate enough to land it. This shot is probably taken before a colossal wipeout! <br /><br />Tyra would probably say that J. Crew missed the main point of modeling, show off the clothes! You can't really see what they are wearing on this cover. Maybe those are the snowboarder's parents and you can't see their clothes because they are turning toward their son to yell where's your helmet?! <br /><br />That said, I have the catalog and the inside is much better!catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-65858661272410768512012-11-09T11:05:12.868-05:002012-11-09T11:05:12.868-05:00Snoooooooooze.

This image honestly looks like a extra from last year's cover shoot, and they were like, "Let's just save some money and use that snowboarding shot with the Authier sample from last year."

I imagine the snowboarder must be part of some photo story that will be revealed inside, but why not feature actual clothes front-and-center? The Authier garb in the photo doesn't really get me excited either -- that line is too expensive and not something that appeals to a wide audience.life as a cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470934989215183458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-20968624913005981512012-11-09T05:35:56.815-05:002012-11-09T05:35:56.815-05:00Lily Bart - me too I despise the word Holiday, and...Lily Bart - me too I despise the word Holiday, and always use Christmas or Hannukah etc, I can't bear the watering down of people's culture, history and tradition.
