J.Crew
American clothing brand
J.Crew is an American clothing retailer known for preppy, casual styles—chinos, oxford shirts, cable-knit sweaters.
The brand became synonymous with a polished-but-accessible aesthetic popular among young professionals and, notably, Michelle Obama during her time as First Lady.
She dressed head-to-toe in J.Crew for the interview.
