Jenna Lyons may be the style mind behind J.Crew, but Mickey Drexler is the man with the final say—and that’s what tonight’s one-hour special on CNBC is all about. In this early clip from the mini-doc, J.Crew and the Man Who Dressed America, we see the “King of Retail” CEO on the scene at the lucky northern New Jersey store location that gets the first shipment of new product in the country every month. This store’s front window is the one that gets recreated all across America—if it gets the okay from Mickey first, that is. Watch a preview of the special above, and tune in to watch at 10 p.m. ET on CNBC.

J. Crew’s colorful mashup of color and texture is going to make you excited to shop for fall 2012—which is exactly the company’s goal. “We’re successful when 16-year-old girls are wearing it and when I’m wearing it and when my mom wears it,” executive creative director Jenna Lyons told InStyle.com. “This collection is for hopefully someone who is a little more adventurous in the way she puts things together.” With this in mind, Lyons designed separates for women of every age and every occasion, from weekend shirtdresses and chunky Fair Isle sweaters to party-ready bright sequined cocktail dresses. Fur-covered bags, cat-eye sunglasses, and metallic pumps fleshed out the accessories assortment. See our favorite looks in the gallery now!
