J.Crew and Eckhaus Latta Unveil an Iconic Collaboration

On September 15, 2026, J.Crew joined forces with the innovative design duo of Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta to launch a limited-edition collection that reinterprets the essence of American sportswear. This exciting collaboration follows the success of the previous design where Eckhaus Latta reinvented J.Crew's signature Rollneck™. What started as a single sweater has blossomed into a thoughtfully curated collection for both men and women that features knitwear, outerwear, shirts, jeans, and accessories, including a special line designed for children.

Drawing from a Rich Heritage

The foundation of this collection is deeply rooted in nostalgia, with inspiration drawn from J.Crew's archives dating back to the 1990s. Eckhaus and Latta meticulously explored decades of catalogs, extracting the colors, proportions, and iconic silhouettes that shaped the brand. From the Barn Jacket to the Rollneck™, and the classic rugby shirt to twinsets and duffle coats, each piece has been reimagined with a fresh approach that reflects both the heritage of J.Crew and the modern sensibilities of Eckhaus Latta.

Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta expressed their admiration for J.Crew's longstanding legacy, stating, "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." By blending their unique styles, they have created a line that captures the heart and soul of both collections without compromising the identity of either brand.

The Collection’s Distinct Features

Among the standout pieces are the ribbed Rollneck™ making its return, a layered reimagining of the Barn Jacket, double-waisted chinos, and modern button-down shirts that overlap in creative ways. Denim takes center stage as a canvas for experimentation, with familiar silhouettes redefined through unexpected fabric treatments and washes. The knitwear component features an archival Art Sweater updated with stripes, cashmere cardigans, and a range of accessories that embody sophistication and comfort.

Olympia Gayot, the Creative Director for Women’s and Kids’ at J.Crew, remarked on the collaboration's essence: "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." This ethos is evident in the collection, which embodies the youthful spirit and creative expression both brands strive for.

Celebrating American Style

The launch also presents a celebration of the expansive nature of American style, highlighting how the brand can be represented in various ways. J.Crew's Chief Marketing Officer, Julia Collier, noted, "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."

This collection made its official runway debut during the Spring/Summer 2027 show at New York Fashion Week on September 11, where it garnered significant attention and praise.

The Eckhaus Latta x J.Crew collection is currently available on jcrew.com and in select J.Crew retail locations. Prices range from $75 for accessories to $650 for premium outerwear, catering to a wide range of fashion enthusiasts eager to embrace this unique collaboration.
