mickey drexler article

Anyone catch this weekends article in the WSJ about J.Crew's CEO? Maybe you're like me - never heard of the guy. Well he's fascinating and quite the retail guru. Turned Gap around when it was faltering, then went on to make J. Crew the hot stock it is today. And he rides an old bike around the office. So cool to find out about the people behind the scenes. Oh, and he kinda sorta had the idea for Old Navy & J.Crew Bridal. No biggie.

fun fact : the name Old Navy came from a bar in Paris

  1. You are such a cute pregnant lady! We are sad we missed Bonaroo too. My husband's brother went. He's in Raleigh. I'm from Nashville! Do we know each other!? Do you play this game? I bet we know someone who we both know:) We both went to UT. We moved to Boston last year. It's harder to play the "who we both know" game up here:)
