And they were everywhere, although, naturally, New York City was a magnet, as it has always been for L.G.B.T.Q.+ people looking for a place in which they can be themselves. New York City was where you lost your soul, and we wanted to be closer to the earth. I wore an eight-and-a-half-foot-tall Statue of Liberty costume to the Easter Parade in New York City, and Kirsten came along with me. By the time I turned 30, I’d been telling people I was older for years, because I’m not the type to bemoan the loss of my youth. Going to New York felt like this moment of emerging to a wider audience, and then I started to travel a lot.

☆ What Did Jenna Lyons Sell at Her Stoop Sale?

On the third floor of a building in SoHo, Jenna Lyons sat frantically scrubbing a pair of Lanvin shoes. “When I moved to Brooklyn, that was the first time I’d ever seen a stoop sale. The event ended up being a much larger, more stressful production than a typical New York stoop sale — and it didn’t take place on a stoop. Ms. Lyons had to institute a cover charge to help manage the crowd, and a “Real Housewives” film crew was present asking visitors to sign waivers. At first, Ms. Lyons said she pushed back against the filming — “I was like ‘please no, I just want to have a sale.’”

Banana Republic and J. Crew are brands from a bygone era when safari cargo dresses and jewel-adorned oxfords were smart, chic office wear. Gap Inc. , which owns Banana Republic, has struggled to revive its appeal over the years. Banana Republic's third-quarter sales of $460 million were down 11% year-over-year, and its same-store sales were down 8%. For Banana Republic, that means improving clothing quality and elevating its aesthetic to become a quiet luxury brand .

Crew's former president Jenna Lyons recalled working over ten hours a day. Lyons spoke on a recent podcast, which was released Monday. Lyons said she worked 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. with no breaks, then answered phone calls at home. In the podcast episode, Lyons spoke about her time leading J.Crew, during which she oversaw the J.Crew, Madewell, and Factory divisions. "When I left my job, my whole world sort of dismantled," Lyons told Time.

Since 2021, when her bosses asked her to make her Instagram account public, her following has gone from under 1,000 to 148,000. She’s not on TikTok, yet a search of her name there pulls up 2.2 million views. The selfies Ms. Gayot casually shoots in the full-length mirror of her office of herself wearing J. Crew with enviable ease — topped by her trademark mane of Botticelli curls — are starting to fill that Jenna Lyons cult-of-personality void without getting exactly personal, as Ms. Lyons is wont to do. Ms. Gayot started her new job in the very early days of the pandemic, pregnant with her second child and coming into the office daily, long before a vaccine was on the horizon.

THE BIGGEST SCANDAL on the set of the latest “Real Housewives of New York” reunion taping in September wasn’t a catty confessional interview or backstabbing dinner conversation. It was a pair of Levi’s. Jenna Lyons , one of the franchise’s new faces and the former creative director of J.Crew, broke with unspoken “Housewives” reunion protocol and eschewed frippery, instead wearing a blazer, sheer top and jeans. “The women normally go all out with rhinestones, feathers and gowns to the floor,” said Brian Moylan, author of 2021’s “The Housewives.” Lyons’s outfit triggered fan furor on social media. As Moylan explained, “For Jenna to wear jeans seemed like [she was] disrespecting the level of effort it takes to be a Housewife.”

Ms. Lyons can’t deny that she is anxious, too. “Cast comes for Jenna Lyons in explosive trailer,” read the New York Post’s headline. Bravo allowed me to visit the “RHONY” set once during filming, in February, while the crew captured Ms. Lyons on a photo shoot for LoveSeen. “This can kind of be used anywhere,” said a field producer, Michael Maniglia. A few months later, I asked Ms. Lyons if she had any regrets about the way she had approached the show, which starts on July 16.

J.Crew's new womenswear and kids design chief has gained a large fan base online. These images are being shared widely on TikTok, helping to boost the brand image. A spokesperson for J.Crew told Harpers Bazaar that its women's business has seen consistent growth since Gayot shared her collections and a boost in sales from her posts. Gayot told Harpers that when she joined in September 2020, a few months pregnant, she was apprehensive. New CEO Libby Wadle told The Wall Street Journal in the summer of 2022 that the company is now profitable.

J.Crew embarked on a comeback after filing for bankruptcy in the early months of the pandemic. But hype alone isn't enough: experts say the stores and product needed a revamp, and the brand is now on the right track. J.Crew has since placed a new CEO at the helm — Libby Wadle, who previously oversaw J.Crew's fast-growing sister brand, Madewell. "In our industry, it begins with product," Quan said. Quan said he's cautiously optimistic, saying that the product improvements hint that the brand is on the right track.

Jenna Lyons, the New York City fashion designer who was famously outed by the New York Post over a decade ago, will join the cast of “The Real Housewives of New York City” next year for the show’s 14th season. Lyons will be the first queer housewife to join the franchise’s New York City series as one of its seven new cast members. Their romantic relationship was revealed by the New York Post after someone spotted Lyons and Crangi at a New York restaurant amid Lyons’ divorce. The New York Post was asking if she would like to confirm or deny that she was “seeing a woman,” they said. GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, praised the decision to cast Lyons.
