Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, Amandla Stenberg, & others Star in J.Crew's 40th anniversary campaign.

Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, Amandla Stenberg, & others Star in J.Crew's 40th anniversary campaign. September 25, 2026 Deal Type: Brand Endorsement & Ad Campaign Partnership Announced: September 22, 2026 * J.Crew launched an extensive portrait campaign celebrating the 40th anniversary of its signature Barn Jacket, first introduced in 1986. * Photographed by Robert Nethery, the rollout features 160 individuals across five major U.S. cities, pairing cultural figures like Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, and Amandla Stenberg with street-cast talent. * The campaign coincides with a 29-piece outerwear drop and highlights each artist's personal style alongside classic American utility wear. J.Crew has unveiled a massive portrait campaign to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its iconic Barn Jacket. Photographed by Robert Nethery, the campaign brings together 160 people across New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Austin. The expansive lineup mixes everyday open-casting talent with prominent cultural icons, including Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, Amandla Stenberg, filmmaker Spike Lee, and comedian Bowen Yang. The initiative honors the Barn Jacket's debut in 1986, showing its journey from rural workwear to modern city staple. This campaign follows a wider trend of retail brands using major anniversaries to connect heritage pieces with contemporary voices. Much like when Yung Gravy teamed up with Checkers & Rally's for their 40th anniversary campaign, J.Crew is leaning into nostalgic milestones to drive cultural buzz. The push builds on J.Crew's heritage revival strategy, following its Tiny Rollneck campaign fronted by Emma Chamberlain to reintroduce the brand's iconic 1988 knitwear. This marks a fresh brand relationship for the musicians on the roster. Chance the Rapper, who previously partnered with Ralph Lauren and Apple, joins the brand as he headlines festival dates and readies his project Star Line. Long Beach rapper and actor Vince Staples, who maintains brand partnerships with Converse, stars in the campaign following the acclaim of his studio album Dark Times and his Netflix comedy The Vince Staples Show. Actor Amandla Stenberg, a former ambassador for Chanel, brings high-fashion visibility to the shoot after headlining The Acolyte. Meanwhile, Bowen Yang participates fresh off an Emmy-nominated run on Saturday Night Live and his role in Wicked. To support the anniversary release, J.Crew launched 29 new Barn Jacket designs across men's, women's, and children's collections. J.Crew's 40th anniversary campaign demonstrates how legacy apparel brands can modernize core heritage items without losing their identity. Instead of relying purely on catalog models, casting distinct cultural figures like Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, and Amandla Stenberg contextualizes the Barn Jacket across diverse creative scenes. Photographing 160 individuals across five distinct cities grounds the collection in everyday utility, effectively bridging 1980s American prep with modern streetwear sensibilities. Does featuring hip-hop voices like Vince Staples help legacy prep brands build long-term credibility with younger shoppers? Can massive ensemble casts featuring 160 people create stronger brand loyalty than traditional single-ambassador rollouts?

J.CREW and ECKHAUS LATTA launch A limited-edition collection reimagining the icons of American sportswear.

J.CREW and ECKHAUS LATTA launch A limited-edition collection reimagining the icons of American sportswear.

The collection is available now at jcrew.com and in select J.Crew stores NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Today, J.Crew and Eckhaus Latta launch a limited-edition collection of J.Crew icons reimagined through the distinctly modern and irreverent lens of designers Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta. The collaboration builds upon the overwhelming response to Eckhaus Latta's interpretation of J.Crew's signature Rollneck(TM) for Rollneck Remix earlier this year. What began with a single sweater has evolved into a deeply thoughtful men's and women's collection spanning knitwear, outerwear, shirting, denim, bottoms and accessories, along with a Rollneck(TM) for kids. The collection began in the J.Crew catalogs. After rummaging through decades of archival materials, Mike and Zoe pulled inspiration from the colors, proportions and iconic styles that defined the brand throughout the '90s. Familiar archetypes including the Barn Jacket, Rollneck(TM), rugby shirt, chino, pleated skirt, twinset and duffle coat are reworked through unexpected texture, proportion and construction, creating pieces that feel recognizably J.Crew but unmistakably Eckhaus Latta. "The inspiration for us was really J.Crew. It is an iconic American brand with a rich heritage. We rummaged through a lot of its catalogs from the '90s as points of reference. That period was our childhood, so our aesthetics and tastes will always be shaped by it," said Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta. The resulting collection plays with the tension between the two brands without diluting either point of view. The ribbed Rollneck(TM) returns alongside a layered interpretation of the Barn Jacket, double-waisted chinos, paneled "carwash" skirts, overlapping button-down shirts and reworked catalog jeans. Knitwear ranges from an archival Art Sweater reinterpreted in stripes to marled separates, brushed cashmere accessories and a shrunken cashmere cardigan set. "We wanted to preserve the experimentation, individuality and sense of community that make Eckhaus Latta so distinctive, along with the unpretentious New York energy they bring to clothes designed for how people actually live. The catalogs became a major source of inspiration, revealing an era of the brand that already possessed a little downtown tension. Mike and Zoe pulled that spirit forward through their own perspective, creating a collection that feels unmistakably J.Crew, but unexpected enough to make you look twice," said Olympia Gayot, Creative Director of Women's and Kids at J.Crew. The resulting collection plays with the tension between the two brands without diluting either point of view. The ribbed Rollneck(TM) returns alongside a layered interpretation of the Barn Jacket, double-waisted chinos, paneled "carwash" skirts and overlapping button-down shirts. Denim becomes a particular point of experimentation, with familiar catalog-inspired silhouettes transformed through unexpected washes. Knitwear ranges from an archival Art Sweater reinterpreted in stripes to marled separates, brushed cashmere accessories and a shrunken cashmere cardigan set. "This collaboration is a celebration of the expansiveness of American style and the many ways it can be interpreted. Great collaborations create new entry points into each brand, and the campaign brings that idea to life through a house party where the J.Crew and Eckhaus Latta communities come together. Everyone is invited to enter the world of the collection, wear it and make it entirely their own," said Julia Collier, Chief Marketing Officer of J.Crew. The collection made its runway debut on September 11 during Eckhaus Latta's Spring/Summer 2027 New York Fashion Week show. The Eckhaus Latta x J.Crew collection is available now at jcrew.com and in select J.Crew stores. Prices range from $75 to $650.

J.Crew fall campaign spotlights tiny take on heritage rollneck sweater with Emma Chamberlain.

J.Crew fall campaign spotlights tiny take on heritage rollneck sweater with Emma Chamberlain. Published on 3 September 2026 at 9:37 am - Written by Emily Stanton - Reading duration: 2 minutes J.Crew has refreshed one of its most recognisable staples for the autumn season, partnering with influencer and entrepreneur Emma Chamberlain to launch a scaled-down version of the brand's classic sweater. The new piece, called the Tiny Rollneck, arrived online on Aug. 26 and signals a continued pivot toward fitted, collegiate-inspired dressing this fall. What changed - and why it matters now. The Tiny Rollneck trims the original's boxier silhouette into a closer, slightly cropped shape that aligns with current trends for tailored, shorter sweaters. For shoppers, that means an easy layering piece that plays well with high-waisted skirts and trousers - a quick way to update a preppy wardrobe without a full closet overhaul. Discover more Hobbies & Leisure Music & Audio Visual Art & Design The collaboration also underscores how Gen Z cultural figures are reshaping mainstream fashion: Chamberlain's presence in the campaign brings visibility among younger consumers and reinforces J.Crew's ongoing effort to modernize a heritage item for a new audience. Arts & Entertainment Campaign and creative team. Shot and directed by Ian Markell, the campaign places Chamberlain in a stylised, candy-coloured setting that nods to early-2000s visuals and video-game motifs. Stylist Jared Ellner worked alongside J.Crew creative director Olympia Gayot to assemble looks that mix nostalgic references with contemporary tailoring. Discover more Movies TV & Video People & Society * Launch date: Aug. 26 * Material: 100% cotton * Price ranges: Approximately $98 for the standard version; select stripe versions list around $118 * Colorways: Multiple options, including vivid stripes and softer faded tones * Fit: Shorter length, closer through the torso compared with the original 1988 design J.Crew has been iterating on its Rollneck line for several seasons. After reviving the heavyweight cotton sweater it introduced in 1988, the brand staged a spring "Rollneck Remix" that invited contemporary designers to reinterpret the knit through experimental techniques. The Tiny Rollneck is the latest evolution in that program, this time favoring a compact, youth-oriented cut. Styling cues. The campaign and early editorial looks pair the Tiny Rollneck with pleated skirts, loafers, tailored trousers and argyle socks - a deliberate embrace of collegiate and '90s-prep references. For everyday wear, the shorter length makes the sweater a straightforward match for high-rise bottoms and layered under blazers or overshirts. Practical considerations for shoppers: the cotton construction makes it breathable but less insulating than heavier knits, so it functions best as a midlayer rather than a standalone winter sweater in colder climates. Takeaway. J.Crew's Tiny Rollneck is both a style update and a strategic casting choice. By pairing a shrunken, more fitted silhouette with a high-profile Gen Z figure, the retailer is signaling how legacy brands can reinterpret archival pieces to stay relevant in an era defined by social-media influence and nostalgia-driven trends. For consumers, it's a timely option for refreshing a preppy wardrobe without abandoning the familiar J.Crew aesthetic. Discover more Arts & Entertainment Give your feedback.
