the man who dressed america

With Mr. S traveling this week and having to stay home while plumbers ran in and out of my house until well into the evening, I indulged myself with a few documentaries that I've had on my list to watch.

One of them, J. Crew & the Man Who Dressed America, captivated me from both a business and fashion perspective. The 43 minute news feature/documentary was centered around J. Crew CEO, Mikey Drexler, who took the helm of the declining brand in the early 2000s, and has quickly brought it into the ranks of one of America's top brands and competing with high-end stores like Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. His passion, his vision, attention to every single detail and creativity is infectious. I may be slightly biased because J. Crew is hands down my all-time favorite brand, even before they had their recent facelift may I add, but I promise if you're looking for something intriguing to watch over the weekend - don't miss this one!

Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible if your credit card magically ends up out of your wallet, and there's a pretty package of lovely things from J. Crew on your doorstep next week!  Enjoy!
