00:00This is my most favorite cashmere in the world.

00:02It's our brushed cashmere.

00:04Just look at this.

00:05The green, the magenta,

00:07just really captures J.Crew color so beautifully.

00:20Hey, Libby.

00:21Hey.

00:22What's the biggest fashion crime you've ever committed?

00:24An asymmetrical haircut, just like this.

00:27I was in my teens.

00:29I mean, I guess I could claim too young to know better,

00:32but yeah, it was really bad.

00:36If I had to choose a showstopper look for the season,

00:40it's really this tool number.

00:43Walk into any room and you're the star of the show.

00:46Everyone wants to talk about it.

00:48It's a statement piece.

00:49It's great.

00:53Would you rather tell your past self a secret

00:55or ask your future self a question?

00:58Maybe neither.

00:59Honestly, I really love where I am today

01:02and I don't want to mess with that by telling myself anything.

01:06You ever see back to the future?

01:08That doesn't work very well.

01:10You really got to trust and go with it

01:12and lean into the things that make you nervous.

01:14You can really vibe on the exhilaration and the surprise and delight of things.

01:21Are deadlines motivating or stressful?

01:23A little bit of both, but mostly motivating.

01:25If I had to base an entire J-proof collection off of one movie, what would it be?

01:30Oh, gosh, I would say anything Wes Anderson.

01:38Okay, look at this shoe.

01:39Amazing.

01:39Studded.

01:40T-strop.

01:41Mary Jane.

01:42Love it.

01:43One fashion trend you wish would go away.

01:45That is easy.

01:46Those bejeweled back pockets on jeans where people wear really low rise.

01:51And I just never want to see those again.

01:58This really is rapid fire.

02:03Tweed or herringbone?

02:04Herringbone.

02:05Pastels or wristbands?

02:06Pastels.

02:07Stripes or gingham?

02:08Stripes.

02:09Trendy or classic?

02:10Classic.

02:11Roll your sleeves or cuff your jeans?

02:12Definitely cuff my sleeves.

02:15No, wait.

02:17Take two, mark.

02:18Roll my sleeves.

02:20Would you rather lose your phone or your keys?

02:22Oh my God, I would rather lose anything but my phone, my keys.

02:26Early bird or a night owl?

02:27Oh, early bird.

02:28We're talking like in the fives usually.

02:31All right, let's cut.
