J.Crew – “Shiny Ponies” as well as Italy.

I saw this short clip about Jenna Lyons as well as her shoe collection as well as had to compose about it.

Jenna is the president as well as executive innovative director of J.Crew.   She has been with the business for twenty years.

Her aesthetic is deeply embedded in the company’s DNA.

They do take fashion dangers however haven’t forgotten their core clients who like J. team for its great handle traditional style.  It’s the only American store where I can discover denim that in shape my body.  J.Crew does have killer sales, which is excellent for a few of their pricier items.

In the film, Jenna  briefly discusses exactly how their shoes develop from a drawing to the store.  The shoes are hand-made in Italy.

Yes, you might purchase knock-offs of these shoes at Zara for a fraction of the cost.

While the CEO of Zara is worth 57 BILLION  (the third richest guy in the world) exactly how much does Zara pay the people who make their shoes? exactly how long would the shoes last?

I question they are paid anything close  to what the workers in Pisa, Italy are making for J. Crew.  The producing industry in Italy, together with other Western countries, is dealing with major difficulties in a worldwide economy.

However, one advantage Italy has is her artisans.  There’s a reason why business from around world selected to have specific items, like shoes, made in Italy.

Fast fashion is right here to stay, however I’m delighted there are business like J. team who care about high quality as well as profits.
