Creative director Jenna Lyons on creating J.Crew's unique look

Jenna Lyons is one of the most influential women in fashion. As creative director at J.Crew, she is credited with giving the brand her unique style, catering to everyone from celebrities to students. But as the company struggles with falling profits and tries to expand abroad, Lyons has her work cut out for her. Norah O'Donnell reports.

    Jenna Lyons is an icon. So interesting seeing this time capsule of her life before RHONY. So much respect for her. A real working influential woman. Wow.

    @@marciamakoviecki3295 Because they let her take on too many roles for one person with little support, not because she's not capable. She was never replaced -- they had a new CEO but also never had someone so invested in the creative process top down - it's a regular fashion brand now.

Nordstrom for hand bags and shoe 👠 departments. Mephisto for $$$$ footwear, but always high quality.
