J Crew The Beginning

J Crew starts as a mail order catalog in 1983, with the public's love of the brand they open a store in 1989 only after 6 years of being a clothing brand.

                                        

In 2003, Millard "Mickey" Drexler joined J.Crew as chairman and CEO, pushing service, quality and innovation to the next level. Still under his leadership almost a decade later, they partner with the finest global fabric mills and craftsmen—as well as with iconic brands such as Jack Purcell®, Timex®, Thomas Mason® and Red Wing® (to name just a few). J.Crew has also introduced several line extensions, including crewcuts (for kids sizes 2—14), J.Crew weddings & parties and J.Crew Collection (featuring exclusive and limited-edition pieces). J.Crew continues its retail expansion with a series of new specialty shops for men, women and kids, as well as the addition of dedicated shoe and handbag salons in existing stores.

J Crew went global in 2011 with opening of stores in Canada (Toronto, Vancuver, & Edmonton). They rolled out An e-commerce site to over 100 countries in early 2012 and are also currently scouting overseas for brick-and-mortar locations.

In 2006, they introduced Madewell, a modern-day interpretation of an American denim label founded in 1937. Madewell continues to bring the same original integrity to everything it makes today, including a wide range of effortlessly cool pieces to pair with denim.

Mickey Drexler CEO

J Crew's CEO Mickey Drexler 'king of retail' is considered the micro-manager of his whole office.
i'm suprised employees don't report invasion of privacy :). In my eyes he is a great manager and just a great buisness man.

If you take a look at his job history you cand find many name brands such as, gap, apple, macy's, and ann taylor. He graduated from Boston University in the mid-1970s.

His long resume is just the start of his biography, He has made many BAD companies into Great companies, consider J crew, there buisness plan was horible before him they were a dying corporation. also taking GAP from the bottom to the top, he introduced the beloved GAP kids and other buisness'.

How is Mr.Drexler in your eyes Tell me

Does J Crew appeal to men?

Does J Crew appeal to men?

With most customers being women J Crew strives to appeal to men with there new feature of stand alone stores. But does this realy help, I know being at the office and being seen wearing J Crew is not fun but can the brand start getting some  respect of men?
Some of there clothes are great but others are just unecceptable.... man capris really.
I would love to here what you think on this.
