I have far too many shoes. (PAUSE) I think I have two hundred and eighty nine pairs I
believe.... ...yeah.
B-ROLL OF SHOES ON FLOOR/JENNA TRYING ON SHOES And some of them I actually realized I haven't
worn (LAUGHS) but I like to look at them. B-ROLL OF JENNA WITH SHOES/SHOES BEING MADE
"Shiny Ponies" J.Crew On Film
These I like, because as far as I am concerned leopard is a neutral.
B-ROLL OF JENNA TRYING ON VARIOUS SHOES/LOOKING AT SHOES
I think inspiration comes from everywhere. It can be an old movie you saw, it can something...
...you feel like you're missing in your closet.
J.Crew Offices New York City
B-ROLL OF VARIOUS SHOES IN OFFICE Sometimes that design inspiration is a little
bit like a river, it's like, picking up things along the way.
B-ROLL OF PEOPLE MAKING THE SHOES Sometimes what happens is that the shoes come
in and.... ....we call them ugly dollies when they don't
work out. B-ROLL OF VARIOUS SHOES
And then sometimes they're beautiful shiny ponies, and the shiny pony one season was
the Etta. B-ROLL OF VARIOUS SHOES IN OFFICES
We wanted something that felt chunky and really glossy. It has a lot of surface areas, so
you can use incredible colors and shapes on it, and it's a statement.
B-ROLL OF SHOES/PEOPLE SKETCHING SHOES/BUILDING THE SHOES
You can sketch a shoe on a piece of paper but the fact of the matter is that has to
then get translated into a shoe, and so then the pattern maker and then the people who
are putting the shoes together are just as important as the person who is doing the initial
sketch, and picking the fabrics and putting them together.
B-ROLL OF VARIOUS SHOES IN SHOE FACTORY PROGETTISTA PIU
Pisa, Italy We have been making our shoes in Italy since
I joined the company, which is twenty years. I feel like half the people in the little
town where our shoe factory is work in the factory. That there is a level of family and
intimacy in the factory that is pretty incredible. CONTINUING B-ROLL OF PEOPLE IN FACTORY
These are sort of traffic stopping. B-ROLL OF ORANGE SHOES IN OFFICE
B-ROLL OF PERSON WEARING ORANGE SHOES And I have actually been known to frighten
a dog. B-ROLL OF SHOES IN OFFICE
Anyone who thinks that your shoe isn't informative ...
...about who you are is making a mistake. B-ROLL OF SOMEONE PUTTING ON SHOE
You know a five-inch stiletto sends a very different message than a beaten up box words.
(?) B-ROLL OF SNEAKERS
These are for after a week of five-inch heels. I can run after my son. (JUMPS NOISE) Wahoo!
B-ROLL OF SHOES ON FLOOR There is a sense of sparkle in a shoe, and
I don't mean the sparkle like sequins. I mean...
....you know that little extra. B-ROLL OF JENNA TRYING ON SHOES
These are business in the front, party in the back. (NOISES) Shoes are like...
CLOSE UP OF VARIOUS SHOES/SHOES IN FACTORY ...fairies. I think that sort of little magical
piece that finishes everything. Like I can throw on a silver...
...five-inch heel pump and all the sudden I feel....
B-ROLL CLOSE UP OF GOLD SHOES ...little bit prettier.
Shiny Ponies... B-ROLL OF JENNA WALKING OVER SHOES ON THE
FLOOR ...here they come!
