I was surfing the internet last night and stumbled upon the mention of a CNBC feature program titled "J.Crew and the Man Who Dressed America". It aired on TV on Thursday, May 24th at 10:00 pm ... I missed it of course. The show focuses not on well known Jenna Lyons (President of the company) but on J.Crew's CEO Mickey Drexler.
I don't know much about Mickey Drexler so I was intrigued by the program becasue of him and J.Crew in general. So I searched the internet to see if I could somehow find the program and watch it. It took some digging, I could only find clips, but I finally found the entire show on You Tube. 44 minutes long - yikes! This was at 10:00 pm so I didn't have more than 5 minutes to watch (clearly bedtime). So I zipped thru it just to see what it was all about.
I think it is worth the watch and here are some thing I've gathered: Mickey Drexler worked for Gap/Banana Republic and was fired! He believes in micromanaging business (interesting). He personally returns calls to customer complaints (not all but some).
I will surely be watching the entire program hopefully soon, you might want to check it out too.
