RUNWAY: J.Crew SS15

Hoist the anchor, J.Crew is taking us for a nautical adventure. The American company took the ever-popular sailing theme as its inspiration for its Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Many have fallen at the weight of being too literal with this theme but J.Crew's expert stylists and atelier created a cohesive collection of relaxed tailored looks - with plenty of nautical stripes - and added a bit of kitsch, like bucket hats and bandanas, and utilized a laid-back color palette, one rich in the colors of the Mediterranean.
