Inside J.Crew's Studio

Molly mentioned (in the "TWST Article on J.Crew's Growth" post) that she was looking at J.Crew's interactive "inside our studio" piece. I actually wanted to create a post about this for some time, so her comment inspired me to do so.

First, love the mood board- love, love, love it! The board includes muses from blossoms, to artists (like Picasso, Matisse, and Elizabeth Peyton), vintage leather, to beautiful autumn florals. I love getting to understand more of the inspirations behind certain looks.

The colors on here are just fantastic. I just want a whole new wardrobe with those colors, fabrics, and styles. Which I guess is J.Crew's purpose in showing us this- since that is exactly what the new Fall Collection has in store! ;) Looking at the mood board and then looking at their new Fall collection, its easy to see how one inspired the other.

What do you think of the mood board? Are you a fan of the inspirations that lead to the creations?
