Explain to him the appeal of curves, a defined waist, the female form? Explain that "playing with proportion" may be an intellectual exercise for designers like him, bored with everyday life and longing for a career in couture, but in real life (where we all live and work and wear clothes), his boxy and voluminous designs are simply ill-fitting and unattractive. They have totally lost me. The significance of Marissa Webb's departure echoes more and more for me with each passing season -- at least she knew how to use clothes to flatter a woman's body.mulliganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774865780463974769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3874437597041892792014-09-09T21:06:37.135-04:002014-09-09T21:06:37.135-04:00The cuffing trick is awesome.

They look good on tall thin models, but I don't think I could pull it off. I also strongly question the saggy crotches! I think that's what happens with high-waisted, unstructured pants if they aren't worn carefully. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25677806019350942452014-09-09T14:25:07.908-04:002014-09-09T14:25:07.908-04:00Pictures of the looks are up on Racked.

I was happy to see all the blue - I love J.Crew's blues and yellow is a difficult color for me to wear. I also loved the chino joggers and the longer length shorts in general. But I really didn't care for the oversized chest pockets on many of the pieces. <br />Also, Leandra Medine of Man Repeller did a short interview with Jenna - here's a link to the <a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/2014/09/nars-audacious-chatroom.html?utm_source=MR&utm_medium=Display&utm_term=ChatRoomPost-Linkfromcustomvideo_Jenna-TextLink-1x1&utm_content=1x1&utm_campaign=AudaciousLipstickSept2014&cm_mmc=Display-_-AudaciousLipstickSept2014-_-MR-_-ChatRoomPost-Linkfromcustomvideo_Jenna-TextLink-1x1" rel="nofollow">video</a>.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219304371144994873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-81810428967079092742014-09-09T12:47:42.975-04:002014-09-09T12:47:42.975-04:00Has anyone seen J.Crew's fashion show online, ...Has anyone seen J.Crew's fashion show online, this AM? It's a nice collection. It seems like they played with proportions again with the boxy cut jackets, shirts, culottes! The colors are nice...but yellow is something i can't pull off because of my skin tone. Everyone on Instagram was taking a photo of that dress with yellow sequin-very popular. <br /><br />It looks like they teamed up with Sophia Webster again, but I am not sure if the shoes will be sold spring of next year, or if it was made only for the show.

A French Mediterranean fishing village has nothing to do with Peru and Mexico. Yellow sequin shorts have nothing to do with sun-faded fishermen clothing. <br /><br />I don't long for old J. Crew, and I like modern clothes, but this is uninspiring. I'm sure I'll like something from the collection (like Tom Mora said in the video), but I'm not excited for it at all based on this preview, which should have been Mora's goal for the preview. My verdict: meh. The striped tank, we've seen it and most of us own something like it already. The sequin shorts, utterly ridiculous for my life. The high/low jean jacket, could be okay but I don't need yet another jean jacket, even if the shape is different. <br /><br />I'm also not a fan of yellow or green. Didn't this just happen on Project Runway where Nina Garcia or Heidi said green is hardly ever photographed for a cover? I have a feeling that if a survey were taken, that yellow and green would be women's least favorite colors to wear. I know lots of women like them, but I'll take a pass. I'm even tired of army/olive green, have enough of it (and mostly from J. Crew).catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89093330751339949252014-09-09T08:20:06.033-04:002014-09-09T08:20:06.033-04:00I think Jenna is tweeting today through out the sh...I think Jenna is tweeting today through out the show.

As a blonde, yellows and mossy greens probably won't work for me. Those shorts are amazing but as others said...real world, a skirt would be more practical. IMO, there have been too many shorts options in recent years and not enough skirt options.
