Jenna Lyons Leaves J Crew After 26 Years, Replaced By Somsack Sikhounmuong
/
Jenna Lyons, creative director and president of J.Crew, is parting ways with the brand after 26 years. Somsack Sikhounmuong, head of women's design at J. Crew will take the new position. When he returned to J Crew after being head of design for sister brand Madewell, it represented a homecoming for the creative who designed accessories and then apparel for 12 years at J.Crew before his Madewell promotion.
When Sikhounmuong returned to J.Crew from Madewell, the New York Times wondered, “Can a New Designer (Not Jenna Lyons) Fix J.Crew?” Not so far: During fiscal 2016, sales decreased 6 percent to $2 billion, having dropped 7 percent the year before that.
J.Crew has struggled for several seasons with dissatisfied shoppers, and Lyons’s departure is the biggest signal possible that it’s aiming to get back on track.

/2017 Whitney Biennial Curators Lew & Lockshave Stand Firm On 'Open Casket' Controversy AOC The Wokes
Not in recent memory has a single painting caused such controversy and furor in the contemporary art world as Dana Schutz's 'Open Casket' (2016), part of New York's current Whitney Biennial. The portrait focuses on the disfigured corpse of Emmett Till, murdered in 1955 at age 14 by a Mississippi lynch mob after conflicting stories about whistling -- or 'worse' according to suggestive innuendos in court testimony -- at a white woman.
The two Biennial creators Christopher Lew and Mia Lockshave also become the target of criticism, and Artnet New's editor-in-chief Andrew Goldstein spoke to Lew about the controversy.
