Meet The Mastermind Behind J.Crew



"Thanks!" to Ruth of CNBC who shared with us a sneak peek of the CNBC story about Mickey Drexler. Refer to yesterday's "CNBC Story about Mickey Drexler {coming soon!}" post for more info.

Can I just say how much I love looking at the mannequins of their upcoming collections with Mickey!?! I also found his lines of "hello?" and "...can we change the name of sweatshirts and sweatpants?" pretty funny. Bottom line: this story on J.Crew looks awesome.

Will you be checking out Mickey Drexler's story on CNBC? Are you excited to see the inner-workings of J.Crew? Will you be recording the show, like I will?

  1. I can't wait...I was drooling too over what the staff and mannequins were wearing. I will definitely DVR it. Already reminded myself on my iPhone. :) Thanks for letting us know!

  3. I really wonder if it will bring forth anything we haven't heard before or just more of the same old party line about their commitment to quality.

  5. Completely off-track but I wanted to know what you guys thought about these two "Painted Rope" sample items on eBay (neither are my listings).

    There is a dress,

    and a coat,

    When I saw them I thought that whoever makes the desicions on what should or shouldn't go into production sometimes gets it so right. I love my Painted Rope skirt but I think that the dress and jacket are just downright awful. There's a reason why they are one-of-a-kind. Ugh

  6. I love him and hate him at the same time! What I love is that he is so New York, such a "garmento" ..... and it looks like he works hard.
    but I guess I hate that he is glossing over the fact that the quality has gone way down ...

  7. I'm not arguing or being confrontational, just a thought...if Mickey Drexler publicly states the quality of their merchandise has declined, how would their sales be impacted? Negatively. No one does that, it wouldn't be a smart move. Hopefully they're working to improve quality but hoping they'll state it publicly will hopefully never happen; it would be a disaster for the company.
