'J. Crew used “normal, everyday people” in their recent fashion show and they’re getting a positive response. Grace Baldridge, Alonso Duralde, and Kenny Hamilton, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/join  \"The models who stood around the edges of a sun-filled gallery in downtown Manhattan on Sunday (Sept. 11), were not the typical young, porcelain-skinned sort who can effortlessly pull off fuchsia lipstick. Rather, visitors to J.Crew’s presentation at New York Fashion Week met a diverse cast of characters, who varied in their ages, sizes, and skin-tones.  The American retail giant’s creative director Jenna Lyons said that many were J.Crew staffers, along with their friends and families, and noted that their ages ranged from 13 to 72 years old. One was seven months pregnant. (She wore a tie-front jumpsuit and sensible shoes.)...  The overall effect was lovely—and smart, in a moment when J.Crew’s sales have been slipping. Loyal customers have complained that more risky, fashion-forward looks are too much of a departure from J.Crew’s casual, preppy roots. The company has gone to great lengths to address this. (Full disclosure: They resurrected a swimsuit from the 1990s after I requested it.)...  The collection was full of the brand’s signatures: stripes, chambray, and loads of khaki—with the odd polka-dotted crinoline and bubblegum-pink pajama shirt thrown in. By styling the presentation on a cast of non-models, J.Crew seemed to be stating loudly, to all those loyal customers: This will look good on you too.”*  Read more here: http://qz.com/779488/j-crew-cast-normal-people-as-its-models-at-new-york-fashion-week-2016-and-it-was-a-triumph/  Hosts: Grace Baldridge, Alonzo Duralde, Kenny Hamilton Cast: Grace Baldridge, Alonzo Duralde, Kenny Hamilton  ***  The Largest Online News Show in the World.
