SPOTTED: J. Crew for Fall '12

If you can imagine in the cluttered mix of shows that is New York Fashion Week, one of the most anticipated presentations is actually J. Crew. Jenna Lyons has become such a superstar that what she turns out each season is watched very closely. What I noticed with her Fall '12 looks is more elaborate knits, certainly a departure from the standard crewneck fare, in addition to more heavy layers, which I think is an extension of what she's already begun to do so well--and gain high praise for. She continues with the vibrant pops of color and creates a more designer-driven interpretation of that granny-chic meets preppy-glam look.
