I can only see myself wearing them with a solid sweater or top. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013/page/2#post-888091 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:59:22 +0000 Claudia 888091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Liz, I love it, too. Looks expensive and unique. <br /><br />I am anxious to see and touch these pieces in real life. I wonder if when they are mass produced for the stores if the quality will be good, and how these&nbsp;will be priced. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013/page/2#post-888089 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:58:04 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 888089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love those brocade skirts! &nbsp; I am a big fan of everything baroque.&nbsp; But maybe not all at once...&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-888080 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:45:37 +0000 Liz A. 888080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i covet that blue and gold coat. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-887910 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:32:50 +0000 Claudia 887910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I came across some more&nbsp;photos with quite a few&nbsp;outfits and items from this upcoming line, and uncropped shots with more details,&nbsp;that I hadn't seen before in the other links for those interested:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://habituallychic.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-want-it-now.html">http://habituallychic.blogspot.....t-now.html</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-878403 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:10:35 +0000 Anonymous 878403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Like eye candy. I don't have to want to wear this stuff to appreciate it. There is something Ralph Lauren-esque about the street photo you posted mid-way down Claudia. I'm loving that silhouette and the high necklines in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-878372 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:56:59 +0000 Beth 878372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the shout-out, Claudia:)</p> <p>You know, these looks are mostly not my cup of tea because I'm not talented enough to figure out how to wear them. Minimal style is easier for me, seeing as I don't have a drop of creativity. I do enjoy seeing it on others, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-877832 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:03:10 +0000 Kristin L 877832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link. I'm not wild about some of the outfits they have put together, but a saw a few pieces that need to be in closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-877808 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:34:23 +0000 Claudia 877808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you look at some of the modeled outfits, especially those partially cut off in the linked slide-show that Molly posted, there are some of the typical J.Crew, unfussy, minimalist pieces and ensembles. I could easily see mixing these more ornate and busy pieces with the minimalist ones, which is the only way I'd wear them.</p> <p>Beth, good to see you posting again. I knew this would surprise you and not be your cup of tea.</p> <p>Mia, I totally agree with your take on this. And those that appreciated the rich colors and textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-877279 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 23:07:04 +0000 Mia 877279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not do the "full meal deal" here but I think the collection is wonderful looking. I had to look twice to verify it was J. crew not a more premium designer. Interesting to see the pieces in the bricks and mortar once they come in and if they look that great close up.</p> <p>You know I have a simple, clean style but these are very alluring looks to me. Maybe because many of the colours would be flattering on me. The Spring style book was filled with shades that make me look "poorly". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-877191 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:39:32 +0000 sinead 877191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The luxury-texture lover in me is all over this. If I could get away with wearing velvet and brocade everyday I would, but since that look is seldom in, my closet is full of sensible cottons and plain tees. Really hope this is a trend with traction because I think it's gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-877129 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:06:35 +0000 Isabel 877129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What ? Fall/Winter 2013 ? Is it Christmas shopping already ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-877049 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:28:07 +0000 Beth 877049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow. I'd never have guessed this was J. Crew. Much too maximal for me but fun to look at.</p> <p>I too wonder about the reaction from J. Crew's usual fan base. I also wonder if I should go ahead and buy the plain navy schoolboy blazer on my list if this is the direction they're heading in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875815 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:21:32 +0000 Charmian 875815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I have to say I loooooved all the textures, but the minimalist in me would probably only wear one piece at a time. And possibly space a few days between too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875799 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:09:17 +0000 Rinoa 875799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, this is clothes that is going to be sold in J.Crew stores? It looks like a fashion show to me! I am 100% on Team Minimal and none of this appeals to me at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875747 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:35:22 +0000 Ingunn 875747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, what to think of this? I like some of the looks, but I'm also on Team Simple, not Adorned, so I guess I'll have to let these looks grow on me. I liked some of the patterns, and the colors are wonderful! Some of the mixes reminds me of Kaffe Fassett. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875672 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:01:36 +0000 catgirl 875672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa - j. crew? These are rich, heavy looks and my first impression was that they look like a museum collection! Pretty but not for me - but oh, those wine leather gloves are calling my name loudly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875664 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:56:18 +0000 Kalli 875664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love some of the pieces but like others I appreciate more of a minimal look. Too much stuff going on isn't really in my own personal style. I hope to transcend time with my wardrobe, aka some pieces able to last at least 5 years without looking dated. I think some of these items will look dated pretty quickly but I appreciate the artistic aspect they are trying to achieve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875553 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:15:02 +0000 Mochi 875553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I can appreciate the bold, spunky over-the-top-ness on others. It might grow on me, not sure. I like the tweeds, having a soft spot for posh/eclectic/British/classic. </p> <p>Some of the pics reminded me of portraits of Frida Kahlo for some reason. There was some otherworldly, retro quality to the lighting and staging of the photography. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875526 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:24:04 +0000 Claudia 875526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks for more photos! It is such a departure from the usual J.Crew, it will be really interesting to see if this direction sells well for them and how their usual customer base responds. If Angie's reaction is any indication, they may have a problem, but I really like many of these pieces myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875516 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:16:24 +0000 Molly L-R 875516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More pics at <a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/news/jenna-lyons-dishes-on-jcrews-first-london-store-and-british-style--exclusive" rel="nofollow">http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/f.....-exclusive</a> I am seriously looking forward to checking out the Regent Street shop when it opens later this year... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-875493 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:43:25 +0000 Claudia 875493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the street, Paris: <a href="http://jakandjil.com/2013/03/12/6210/" rel="nofollow">http://jakandjil.com/2013/03/12/6210/</a></p> <p>Much ALGO all together, but still loving the individual pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-849960 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:15:34 +0000 rachylou 849960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, next winter will be a good winter.

I don't know if I can do the whole shebang. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-849838 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:29:21 +0000 texstyle 849838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie on this - I don't really love patchwork or really busy pattern styles at all - too much boho/baroque or whatever for me. I guess I'm much more team minimalist/classic than I thought. While several of the items are beautifully designed - and there are some pretty colors - they are just not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-849836 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:28:30 +0000 sarah 849836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the patterns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-849806 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:12:40 +0000 Lisa 849806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of the detail work and mixing of colors in the patterns is really pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-849801 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:10:20 +0000 nancylee 849801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. My inner bohemian loves all this embellishment! Not sure how it will work in the real world, but it is definitely fun to look at. I've wanted an embellished coat/topper for years, and now I'm thinking this might be the year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-j-crew-fallwinter-2013#post-849797 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:05:58 +0000 Angie 849797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be such a wet blanket, Claudia - my apologies. I did not like the J. Crew Fall 2013 collection as a whole :(. Maximal and not their usual fresh and crisp look that I gravitate towards. But I can understand how others might prefer it, and I know that some of my clients will love it! </p> <p>I much preferred J. Crew's Spring 2013 show (although the lookbook that just came out was indeed bland). But I did pin a few looks from the Fall 2013 collection that I thought were fab </p>
