Joe Fresh’s Founder on the Mistakes that Led to His Success

This week, Joe Fresh celebrates its one year anniversary doing business in America.

In my homecountry of Canada, Joe Fresh, founded in 2006, is already a really big deal, with 300 stores nationwide and a dedicated following eager to snap up its fashion-forward, super affordable duds. While it’s new to the States, it’s wasted no time in following a similarly lightening fast expansion: In just 12 months, Joe Fresh has launched four standalone stores in New York and opened up 680 shop-within-shops at JC Penney.

It’s a dizzying pace, but as I learned on Wednesday, when I spent the morning hanging out with founder and creative director Joe Mimran at the company’s New York headquarters, that’s just kind of how he rolls.

So, I’m really happy with the denim industry’s latest thing: Waxed jeans.

Editor’s Pick: Hayley’s Super-Soft Printed Sweater

Editor’s Pick: Hayley’s Super-Soft Printed Sweater

Last week I saw this sweater on a mannequin in Club Monaco and knew I had to have it on sight. I had to wait a full day until the sweater actually arrived in the store for purchase (instead of just on display in the windows), and it was definitely worth it. I had already fallen in love with the look of the sweater, but as soon as I touched it I also fell for the texture. The website says it’s made of wool, nylon and alpaca, but I like to refer to it as soft, cozy goodness.

Madonna Maybe Copies Patricia Field, Kate Winslet Secretly Marries, and J. Crew’s $1,500 Bag

Did Madonna steal from Patricia Field? The “Vogue” hats being sold as merch on her MDNA tour look a little too familiar, according to Field’s camp. (Then again, Madonna did come up with the song. There’s also that magazine…) {Patricia Field Tumblr}

Why did Life and Style use a three-year-old bikini pic of Kourtney Kardashian for their cover story about her post-baby bod? {HuffPo}

Editor’s Pick: Cheryl’s Enormous Cozy Sweater

It’s getting cold out there. Really cold. So cold that the only thing I want to wear is this old grey sweatshirt hoodie I have, which really isn’t acceptable for public viewing. So I had to find an alternative.

Over the weekend I picked up this cashmere hoodie, which I found while browsing at Club Monaco in my neighborhood–I haven’t taken it off since.
