j.crew opens at 79th and madison

October 10, 2008 5:00 pm

As part of its ongoing upward spiral, J.Crew today quietly opened a Women’s Collection store at Madison Avenue and 79th Street. And despite the gloomy economic forecast, shoppers were piling in to the uptown-meets-downtown space, conceived of down to the last Serge Mouille light fixture by creative director Jenna Lyons Mazeau. The draw? All the usual J.Crew goodies—their staple tees, jeans, and cashmeres—as well as the higher-end Collection pieces and select vintage and one-of-a-kind items, like hand-painted blouses and $10 18-karat gold vermeil bobby pins. As other retailers may want to note, while consumers may be balking at four-figure frocks, the allure of reasonably priced, tastefully merchandized classics is apparently evergreen.
