[quote=Anonymous]This thread is kind of funny. Have you thought that maybe, instead of J Crew becoming more trendy, you have become less? As in, you are still lookign for those sweaters and boxy khakis that were in in the 90s? I hear this a lot. That said, J Crew has always made some stuff with great fabrics -- I like their cashmere, but right now the trend is to do it thin, so it does not last as long. Its the same deal for my cashmere from Nordys. They have also been the go-to khaki people for years, and their catalog still has every style you could want.

As for Jenna Lyons running them into the ground, the store is the most profitable it has ever been. They are appealing to much higher price points. And people don't go to Banana Republic anymore for whatever reason. Clearly, J Crew is filling a niche -- the work girl who wants to look cute, and doesn't mind spending some money, but doesn't want to go whole hog on Theory, which, while similar, is dramatically more expensive.
