I’m loving J. Crew’s inspiration for their Fall 2008 line. It includes a mix of textured fabrics, cords, abstract florals, long Italian leather gloves, and rich autumnal hues of golds, pomegranate, bronze, and deep yellows. I’m glad they have stayed away from the charcoals and chocolates for the time being because I’m not quite ready for a heavy palette while it’s still 100 degrees outside. I think Nicole from Making It Lovely should join their fashion illustrator team, don’t you?
J. Crew’s fall line was also inspired by the work of artist Elizabeth Peyton. Check out the bold and expressive lines in her paintings over at Regen Project.

I really became sidetracked when I clicked over to the Regen Project site!
Beautiful color combinations and yes, Nicole’s work is fantastic.

You should try working there and getting a discount on it all. I do the visuals and windows once a month and when I walked in the store this last time, I gasped for breath. The cloths are great!!!!
