Color crazy at J.Crew

How do we create 45 custom coat colors? It's art meets science meets a guy named Luigi. 

There are many brands and retailers who do color well, but not many can shine a light to the creative team at J.Crew. They continue to be a retailer of basics primarily, but have achieved respect in a style-driven industry for offering bold and on-trend color options (and of course, a well-edited assortment of fun fashion pieces).


We love this video because it gives a quick backgrounder into the design inspiration behind the color, and the process behind creating color for textiles.
