The American brand J.Crew is to open a shop in London

This  brand -J Crew- has grown in recent years from a high street fashion label much like Banana Republic..to a label that finds itself at home in NY fashion presentations.

They launched shipping from their online catalogue to the UK last year

The creative director is Jenna Lyons  with her elegant brown side-parted hair.

 Here she is  standing behind her model styled very much in her own image and wearing  a chartreuse dress and Breton stripes. 

Jenna herself is wearing Cutler and Gross glasses.

We really adore  this look!

And here is our own Duchesse of Cambridge

 ...

Photographed in Liverpool wearing a brown Celeste coat by Hobbs which is rumoured to have been purchased by Kate back in September for £369 and as it was from the 2011 collection it was slashed to less than half its original price £182 making way for the new Spring stock. 

The coat was an immediate online sellout success.

Good news for the UK fashion industry! Well done Duchess of Cambridge.
