Lauren Hutton Fronts J.Crew

lhjcrew.jpgThe new J.Crew catalog just arrived in our office, sandwiched in between invites and barely worth a second glance until we noticed they’d snagged Lauren Hutton for the cover.

They’ve been putting their own employees to modeling work on their website for the past couple of months and riding the gigantic wave of Obama publicity — apparently saving their pennies for Lauren who looks, well, kind of ravishing.

The model/actress is keeping up with the supers revival, this marks her third campaign alongside The Row and Mango - and J.Crew’s first use of a household name (unless you’re talking our household in which Anouck, Cintia and Stam definitely count).

Question is, do we want that trench because it’s perfect or do we want the trench because Lauren makes it look perfect?

I'm pretty sure Hutton has done the J.Crew catalog before... in the mid 90's? According to IMDB, it was 1989, but I remember something slightly more recent. She looks good in their clothes - the gap-toothed smile and the tousled hair make the preppy stuff look really fun and accessible, but still glamorous. Which is basically what J.Crew is all about.

She's modeled for Jcrew numerous times before - most recently, two summers ago.

How not get excited when a J.Crew catalog comes? It's always the highlight of my day. Then again- if I lived in Manhattan and got things like invited, etc. in the mail I probably wouldn't be half as excited.

J.Crew uses their staff to model? I've been in the offices before, yes, everyone is decked out in J.Crew but no one actually looked like a model.... I find this hard to believe.
