Rightly so or not, I’ve always considered Madewell to be the eclectic little sister of the more mature and put-together J. Crew. This probably explains why I got very nervous today when I read that Madewell’s former head of design was heading to J. Crew in order to “revamp” the image of its women’s collection… Hopefully, he’ll have Marissa Webb’s magic touch.
