J. Crew Menswear | Fall 2010

On April 2 J. Crew pre­sented their Fall 2010 Menswear Col­lec­tion.  I’m only slightly envi­ous that I didn’t get my invi­ta­tion to the pre­sen­ta­tion.  I’ve been dying to meet Frank Muyt­jens — sim­ply for what he’s done to with the J. Crew line.

This is one of those col­lec­tions that you can take straight from the racks to your wardrobe and not miss a beat.

As you can see Frank Muyt­jens has done a stel­lar job with this fall’s col­lec­tion.  As many of you know (and some of you will soon know) Muyt­jens started with J. Crew in early 2008 and has com­pletely mor­phed the brand from a stock store for the prep­ster into this defin­i­tive resource for men world­wide who want more from their wardrobe.

Muyt­jens has aided the J. Crew line to col­lab with Supe­rior Labor, Sperry, SeaVees, Levis, and Wexler & Co., AND opened the J. Crew Liquor Store, “fea­tur­ing a hand­picked selec­tion of care­fully edited pieces for style con­nois­seurs and indi­vid­u­al­ists alike.”  From its rolled-up chi­nos (which I donned today actu­ally) to its wingtip oxfords, cham­bray work­shirts, and every­thing in between, J.Crew has become one of my favorite brands to wear and look to for inspi­ra­tion.  I hon­estly can­not wait until this col­lec­tion comes out. I repeat — can­not wait!
