Perhaps it’s a bit offensive to call a fourty-something director a girl, so let’s go with ‘it-lady’ for now. If there ever was a prototype of an ‘it-lady’, Jenna Lyon must be it.
There are multiple reasons which I am mor than happy to outlay in this little blog post.
a) She is creative director of J.Crew (American retailer, check www.jcrew.com for details) which means she designs and decides what America will be wearing next season. Now that’s a fun job.
b) She is a true ‘mix and matcher’. Although she’s obviously a fan of J.Crew she mixes it up with vintage & designer and it looks quircky & perfect.
c) I couldn’t find a single picture of here in which she is not completely, utterly stylish. Now, how many people can say that?
d) Her husband is an artist. Not the shabby penniless kind but the handsome, successful kind.
e) She is very much in favor of sequins, to me any person who loves sequins must be a happy person which just adds to her ‘it-ness’.
f) With an artist husband and a fashion job this one is pretty obvious but still: her house is the kind you wish you would live in, with her husband if you could…(please note that this is a joke , I am not planning on stealing anyone’s husband as I have my very own who is perfect)
Obviously, I could go on and on until z) but really, images say a lot more than bulletpoints…so herewith:
