shiny ponies...

the beautiful jenna lyons of j crew talks about...shoes!  there are shiny ponies & ugly dollies...i could watch this over and over...wanting several of the shoes...and just loving how adoringly she speaks of each of them...



want to see more j crew video's?  there was a series done back in 2011 - click on the links below...

about a shoe

about a tread count

about a print

about a print...

part three of j.crew's video series "made in italy" is all about a print...(and the last of the series) i have to say...when it comes to prints...j.crew does not disappoint...the video shows jenna lyons (creative director and president of j.crew) and her team while they tour the ratti and canepa factories in lake como, italy...both of which are italian factories j.crew uses for its prints...

how amazing to watch the artist at work...each pattern...hand drawn and hand painted...a process that takes weeks...



by far...my favorite of the three videos...if you missed the first two video series...here they are..."about a shoe" and "about a thread count"...

about a thread count...

j.crew has done a series of small video's entitled "made in italy" - the first one was "about a shoe"...this is the second in the series..."made in italy - about a thread count"...truly amazing as jenna lyons...creative director and president of j.crew...and frank muytjens...men's designer go to italy...visiting several fabric mills...to see how the highest quality materials are produced from start to finish...



truly amazing...no? can you almost feel the softness of the fabrics? the next video will be out in about a month entitled "about a print"...stay tuned...

about a month ago...j.crew launched a "made in italy" series...and for some reason...i thought i had done a post on it...but alas...when i did my little search...i came up empty handed...there are now two...which i'll post the second one tomorrow...the first in the series was "about a shoe"...
