J.Crew SS2015 men's collection was initially inspired by
my childhood memories of traveling to Spain. Through my research I came across
fantastic images that further evoked nostalgic memories of the Mediterranean.
From the fishermen mending their nets on the wharf, the white washed walls, to
the various shades of blues in the ocean - all can be found translated in some way
throughout the collection. I love the fisherman’s cable knit cardigans updated
with white buttons, chambray naval popovers, French work wear jackets. This
season there is special emphasis on simplicity, nothing overly complicated.
The SS2015 women collection, was inspired by the artistic beauty of the indigenous cultures in Latin America. I was drawn to their distinctive approach to stripes, ikats, intricate textiles, and interesting color combinations specifically from artisans in Mexico and Peru. The energy of the collection came from a recent trip to Ibiza; and the calm of the relaxing tropical getaway. There’s a real feeling of ease, a sexiness, a casualness and comfort to the clothes this season. I wanted to focus on dressing people to enjoy them today and live their lives in them, and not just on a precious occasion.
