Since
Jenna Lyons' coronation as creative head of
J.Crew in 2008, the company once known for its preppy Nantucket ancestry has
become a force in fashion, with Lyons at the center of its evolution. She has
created a high-low look that reflects her own boy-girl style--androgyny with
some sequins and a dash of nerdy glasses. Along with annual revenue that has
more than tripled to $2.2 billion since 2003, the cult of J.Crew has blossomed
like a CMO's fantasy.
