J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler Suggests Jenna Lyons as Possible Successor Posted: 13 Apr 2011 06:06 AM PDT J.Crew president and creative director Jenna Lyons might be under attack by the right wing nut jobs at Fox for letting her son paint his toes pink, but her boss Mickey Drexler thinks she could be the right person to succeed him when he steps down. J. Crew Chairman and CEO Mickey Drexler gave his first interview since taking J. Crew private to Bloomberg’s For the Record program, hosted by Margaret Brennan. In it, Drexler dishes on everything from the decision to take J.Crew private, expanding internationally, and Jenna Lyons. The full interview airs this weekend but here are the highlights, courtesy Bloombergy TV’s In Business with Margaret Brannan: On Jenna Lyons as his possible successor, and his succession plan: Continue reading » Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

The Loonies at Fox News Hate on Jenna Lyons for Letting Her Son Wear Pink Essie Nail Polish Posted: 12 Apr 2011 03:02 PM PDT I refuse to give Fox News’ website traffic, so let me just summarize what’s going on: Contributor Dr. Keith Ablow says that the recent feature on J.Crew‘s website depicting design head Jenna Lyons painting her little boy’s toenails pink is “a dramatic example of the way that our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender identity—homogenizing males and females when the outcome of such ‘psychological sterilization’ (my word choice) is not known.” He goes on to say, “If you have no problem with the J. Crew ad, how about one in which a little boy models a sundress? What could possibly be the problem with that?” Continue reading » Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Quote of the Day: Gwyneth Paltrow Tells Jay-Z Why She Knows Every Word from N.W.A’s “F*** Tha Police” Posted: 12 Apr 2011 09:30 AM PDT Shawn Carter: Personally I was very surprised at your extensive knowledge of hip-hop songs. Particularly how you can sing '90s hip-hip songs word for word. I can't even do that! How does a girl from Spence discover hip-hop? Gwyneth Paltrow: I first was exposed to hip-hop when I was about 16 (1988) by some boys who went to collegiate. The Beastie Boys were sort of the way in for us preppie kids. We were into Public Enemy, Run-DMC and LL Cool J. But then I went to LA the summer between my junior and senior year of high school and I discovered N.W.A which became my obsession. I was fascinated by lyrics as rythym [sic] and how Dre had a such different cadence and perspective from say, Eazy-E, who I thought was one of the most ironic and brilliant voices hip-hop has ever had. It was an accident that I learned every word of Straight Outta Compton and to love something that a.) I had no real understanding of in terms of the culture that it was emanating from and b.) to love something that my parents literally could not grasp. But I was hooked. I can't remember what I ate for dinner last night but I could sing to you every single word of N.W.A's "Fuck Tha Police" or [Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock's] "It Takes Two." Go figure. –Gwyneth and Jay-Z both have lifestyle sites now! Also, Jay-Z, who goes by Shawn Carter on his new site, Life + Times, calls Gwyneth his “sister.” So they did a fun little Q and A exchange on their respective sites. And thus we have more evidence that there is nothing Gwyneth can’t do. Oh, and when asked if she’d release an album she said, “Never say never.” Maybe it will be a rap album? And Jay will guest?

Need Some Lip Gloss With That Washing Machine? Sears Now Sells Beauty Posted: 12 Apr 2011 08:04 AM PDT Do you shop at Sears? The retailer has had to deal with some serious image issues in the last decade and is trying to give itself a makeover. To that end, WWD reports this morning that Sears introduced beauty departments in about 100 stores, and is hoping to increase that number. Right now the beauty centers stock brands traditionally found in the drugstore–like L'Oreal, Cover Girl, Maybelline, Revlon and Physicians Formula. Sears is also dabbling in higher end brands like Ahava, Dermalogica, and Burt's Bees, and it hopes to expand its offerings. Since drugstores aren't really found in malls anymore, Sears is hoping to carve out a niche for itself by offering shoppers brands traditionally found in drugstores but that they can't get at say, Macy's. The industry experts WWD interviewed for the story seem kind of lukewarm on the whole concept. Continue reading » Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
