People sure do like to speculate about the prospects of Jenna Lyons, the former J.Crew creative director who has never assumed another public-facing designer role since leaving the job in April 2017, nearly a decade ago. (I broke that story, and will remain forever indebted to my source, who was not who you think it was.) Part of this obsession is Lyons’s fault; she seeks the spotlight, and even became a Bravo star for a spell. But it’s also because she’s insanely talented. She really, truly dressed America, and is as admired and beloved as any major European designer, and arguably far more directly influential.
