J.Crew & the Man who Dressed America {CNBC special}

Just a reminder that tonight CNBC (click here) is airing their show on "J.Crew and the Man who Dressed America" (10PM and again at 1AM). If you miss either showing, they will be replaying the episode on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at 10PM. They share:

With more than 300 stores, nearly $2 billion in sales and even the First Lady as a fan, J.Crew has transformed from a once-flailing, lackluster brand to a fashion force. Leading J.Crew is CEO Millard “Mickey” Drexler, known for his intuitive sense of what the public craves and his ability to lift troubled companies to new heights. Since taking over J.Crew in 2003, Drexler has successfully introduced designer quality clothing for the masses — driving the company’s revenues up 170 percent.

From New York to Italy, anchor David Faber explores the process of conceiving, creating and marketing a new line of clothing. How will J. Crew meet the twin challenges of expansion and a rapidly changing landscape in the Internet age of retail? CNBC takes you inside this growing retailer and explains what’s made the stylish, contemporary brand a success.

We have been hearing a lot about this news piece. (Refer to the "Mickey Explains How J.Crew Gets You {in your heart and your wallet!}", "CNBC Story about Mickey Drexler {another look on catalogs!}", "Meet The Mastermind Behind J.Crew" and "CNBC Story about Mickey Drexler {coming soon!}" posts for more info.) From all the sneak peeks & articles we have seen so far, I am pretty excited about checking this special out. It looks like we will get to see a lot of the inner workings at J.Crew.

Finally, CNBC and Gilt have teamed up to offer a $5,000 shopping spree to celebrate the premiere of this J.Crew special. To enter, click HERE.
