The 48-year-old, who in recent years has moved into the spotlight as a top fashion personality, shared the news that she is moving on on Monday.  \'I am excited about the next chapter for J.Crew as well as the opportunity for other creative leaders within the organisation to step up and take on new responsibilities,\' she said in a statement, according to Business of Fashion.  Leaving seems to be bittersweet for Jenna, who also holds a position on the CFDA\'s Board of Directors.  \'It has been beyond my wildest dreams to work with such an amazing team of people at such an incredible brand and alongside Mickey [Drexler, chief executive of the brand] — one of retail\'s most talented visionaries,\' she added.  \'Having spent the better part of my life with J.Crew, I feel an immense pride and love for everyone at the company.\'  Taking her place, at least for now, will be Somsack Sikhounmuong, formerly the head of design, and the leader of Madewell. He will be promoted to chief design officer.  Jenna, meanwhile, has not announced whether she will be moving to another brand as of yet.   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4376730/Designer-Jenna-Lyons-leaving-J-Crew.html'
