OT but I noticed they took 'Jenna' off some item title's and desc. Ex: Jenna merino cardigan. No longer called that and the desc starts with 'We...' instead of 'Jenna...' Thought it was interesting :)Well it certainly appears that way! Check out the old description for the Jenna's Cardigan (Item 24712; $70.00):
Our creative director, Jenna, asked the design team to come up with the perfectly cropped cardigan to wear specifically with a dress (any dress), and voilĂ . Short but not too short, with a higher ribbed hem (so it's more fitted and slightly dressier), it is, indeed, absolutely perfect. Merino wool in a 14-gauge knit. Crewneck. Three-quarter sleeves. Hits above hip. Import. Dry clean. Online only.Now take a look at the current description for the Merino V-Neck Cardigan (Item 58919; $79.50):
We challenged our design team to come up with the perfect cropped cardigan to wear specifically with a dress (any dress), and voilĂ . Short but not too short with a higher ribbed hem (so it's more fitted and slightly dressier) and a V-neckline, it is, indeed, absolutely perfect.The wording of the two product descriptions are practically the same. Yet, no mention of Jenna in the newest version of the cardigan. And of course, there is the price hike of $9.50. Maybe for the additional length in sleeves? ;)
-Merino wool in a 14-gauge knit.
-Long sleeves.
-Hits above hip.
-Dry clean.
-Import.
For awhile there, Jenna was clearly becoming the new face of J.Crew. Are they moving away from Jenna Lyons now? Just recently, we learned that J.Crew was transitioning focus to other tastemakers at the retailer. (Refer to the "Where Did 'Jenna's Picks" Go? {answered}" post for more.)
What are your thoughts on the omission of Jenna's name in the cardigan's description? Do you think J.Crew is moving away from Jenna Lyons as the face of the organization?
