Star Wars All-Stars

Mon, 13 May 2013 18:11:59 -0400

Another fun shoot for J.Crew. I’ve had a bit of practice shooting with children with my daughter and nieces and nephew. The kids were great!

jcrew:

to celebrate our latest crewcuts tee collaboration with Lucasfilm, we spent a Sunday
morning with Star Wars™ fanatics (and fans-to-be) in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood.
here’s a look at some of the action on set…

Have you ever been part of a photo shoot before?
“I don’t do this normally, no.”

I heard you had blue hair yesterday.
“Yes, it was striped, but my mom made me wash it out, though.”

How long have you been watching Star Wars?
“I’ve been watching since I was 5. So, for 3½ years.”

Do you know who says the quote that’s on your T-shirt?
“Darth Vader says it about Luke.”

What other movies have you seen lately?
“Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 in 3-D, Rise of the Guardians, Skyfall.”

Luca wears a Stars Wars for crewcuts tee, a french terry zip hoodie in brilliant cobalt,
a Champion track pant and Adidas sneakers.

Walker, what’s your favorite battle scene?
“General Grievous versus Obi-Wan.”

Miller, what about you?
“When Darth Vader kills Palpatine and throws him out of the Death Star.”

Walker, do you have a favorite line from Star Wars?
“‘Use the force, Luke!’”

Miller, we heard you had a Star Wars–themed birthday party recently. How did it go?
“It was epic!”

Miller wears a Stars Wars for crewcuts tee, a crewcuts sun-faded short, crewcuts socks
and Blundstone® boots. Walker wears a Stars Wars for crewcuts tee, a crewcuts sun-faded
short, and Adidas® shoes.

Lowe, you’re wearing braids, do you know who Princess Leia is?
“Princess Leia is cool. I would like my hair like that.”

What do you like to wear these days?
“I just got new floral Doc boots. I’ve had them for a while, but they finally fit. I also really
love these heart sunglases.”

Val, what’s your favorite movie?
“The Pink Panther shows. We have all of them.”

Lowe wears a Star Wars for crewcuts tee, Frankie short in neon floral, Selima Optique®
for crewcuts heart sunglasses and navy Converse sneakers with custom laces. Val wears a
Star Wars for crewcuts tee, a Flora & Henri khaki short and Vans camo half cab shoes.

Mavis, 4 and Bonnie
Have you girls seen Star Wars before?
“NO!”

Bonnie, we like your tights.
“I like stars. They’re bright and twinkly.”

Bonnie and Mavis wear Star Wars for crewcuts tees, crewcuts leggings and
Converse® Chuck Taylor sneakers.

Alden
Who is your favorite Star Wars character?
“Boba Fett. He has a jet pack on his back and it’s really cool. And when he flies and the fire
shoots out, it’s awesome!”

Do you have a favorite episode?
“Which one has Boba Fett? Oh, then The Empire Strikes Back.”

We like your Supergas. Do you wear sneakers a lot?
“Yes, I think the designs are cool, and you can wear different-colored shoelaces.”

Alden wears a Star Wars for crewcuts tee, a 45rpm jean and Superga® sneakers.

(interview with his mom, Kiana)
We hear your husband is a big Star Wars fan. Has he made Carter watch?
“We’re not watching—yet. Right now his mornings are filled with Sesame Street
and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I’m not sure his attention span would last beyond
the opening credits.”

Is this Carter’s usual Sunday look?
“He loves getting dressed up. We go between button-downs and cool graphic tees. We
always put him in a skinny jean or a chino. He’s got a lot of colored pants that I’m teaching
my husband how to style him in.”

These Vans® are pretty cool.
“His favorite things are from crewcuts. But he also gets a ton of wear out of these cool
leather high-tops.”

Carter wears a Star Wars for crewcuts tee, a pull-on lightweight chino in straight fit, and
Vans for crewcuts washed sneakers in lava orange.

another piece for J.Crew just went up today!

jcrew:

we took two of our men’s buyers and one blond (and delightfully English)
copywriter out of the office on one of the sunniest days we’ve seen so far
this spring and asked them to give the classic Ebbets Field Flannels®
ball cap their own spin…

My first project with J.Crew went up today! Keep an eye out for more on the way.

jcrew:

A Moment with…Araks Yeramyan

her lingerie has a cult following (she counts Sofia Coppola and Michelle Williams
among her fans), so it’s only natural that she’d branch out into swimwear. (you’ll
see that the retro-tinged styles she designed for us are reminiscent of her line’s
underpinnings.) here, we check in with the Armenian designer at her downtown
New York studio to talk shedding layers and warm-weather escapes…

How is your swimwear collaboration with J.Crew similar to designing
lingerie?
This is my second foray into swimwear. I dabbled briefly; it proved very successful
and had a great following. I’m excited to be launching again with J.Crew. When
designing swimwear, I can be bolder with color choice. It’s like lingerie
but for everyone to see!

You worked on our women’s design team in the ’90s.
Tell us a little bit about that experience… I loved my time at J.Crew. It was my first job after graduating from Parsons and the
place where the idea for my collection was conceived. I was looking through a box of
multicolored trims and I started to build a vision of having beautiful cotton
underwear in many colors. Everyone there was extremely helpful in connecting me
with the right people to start my line.

We hear you’ve been a fan of J.Crew since you were young…
The clean, simple and classic aesthetic worked into my style well. I remember
everything I bought was cotton and had wide stripes. I still love a good stripe. I also
had this green denimlike jacket that was lined in grey. I was obsessed with it.

How did the collaboration with J.Crew come about?
J.Crew has always been on my list of brands to collaborate with. I thought many
times of emailing Jenna, so I was superexcited when they contacted me. I love the colors and
the quirky preppiness of J.Crew.

So, what makes for a great-fitting swimsuit?
Fit is one of the most important things for lingerie, especially for a bra. It also has to be
comfortable enough that you don’t think about it. I bring the same attention to fitting
swim as I do to fitting lingerie.

Your swimsuits make us want to get to the beach, so tell us, what’s your favorite
beach destination?
I love the small, quiet beaches of Bahia, Brazil. You can relax and there are a lot of
local vendors, so you can get something to eat or fresh coconut water anytime. At
night, you can go into Salvador. I love that you have both at the same time: small
beach town and city. And the people in Bahia are great.
The best swimming water goes to Grand Saline in St. Barths, though. The water is so
blue it’s surreal.
