Would you rather hang out with Martin and Osa or Mr. J Crew?
I think Martin and Osa seem like a fun crowd. I mean…they are explorers and could recount the stories of climbing the icy tundra. Hopefully Martin and Osa work as a happy pair to create clothing that reflects the needs of traveling stylish women and men. I have not know this store very long but I feel that instant connection with their soft pallet of colors and ”wear till their threads” basics. M & O makes me smile as I walk in and know I will return at a later date as I walk out.
So…
Am I right that J Crew obviously takes the role of a Mr.? His store is full of bright colors and a pipe dream of a woman who is so naive headbands and pearls are part of the standard model. Season after season a myriad of sun dresses denote every mans dream. We know JC is a “Mr.” Crew is a multiple offender of the impractical and ill-fitting. Only a man would continuously recreate variations on a chino that will never properly fit anyone above a size 2. But still I love Mr. Crew. John, Jack, Jim, Jordy, I could dream of this preppy puppet master all day. We could converse endlessly about polka dots vs. seer sucker, bugs as adorable embroidery and enamel jewelry accents. I Imagine sipping a gin and tonic just off the croquet court chatting with J. Crew and I beem with happiness… I think that answers my question because I just could not turn down a date with J Crew.
Martain and Osa..take a hike. (but continue to make excellent adorable clothes!!)
pps. if it does not work out with Mr. Crew I will be sure to send you a roving text message booty call.
