Since buying back all their stock and going private, J. Crew has accomplished a brand re-position to be envied; it has emerged as a lifestyle brand that mixes an urban lifestyle with super chic tailoring and accessories. Take their FW15 collection, included in the sharp suit separates, rich in fabric like tweed, there's a collaboration with New Balance for hip new sneakers, while coats and pants were generally slick and streamlined, perfect for city dwellers to dress up or down to their hearts content.

Arthur Kulkov fronts the mens section of American retailer J. Crew's July 2011 catalogue, clad in light summer wears like cropped trousers, linen suits, and lightweight sweaters.
