Jenna Lyons In The Midst Of a Messy Divorce

You probably know her style but you may not know Jenna Lyons by name.

She has influenced the classically chic looks of consumers from the average mall goer to Michelle Obama.

She is the president and creative director of J. Crew.

A lot of conservative commenters were upset when Lyons painted her 5-year-old son’s toenails pink earlier this year.

Now Lyons is in the midst of a messy divorce from her husband of nine years, artist Vincent Mazeau.

In addition, Lyons has gotten romantically involved with another woman who works in the fashion industry since her summer split from her husband.

J. Crew’s representative refused to comment on Lyons’ personal life.

Partly because of an Oprah segment on her personal closet, the six-foot-five brunette has become an icon for fashion lovers in the past year.

However, Lyons questioned her influence in an interview with New York Magazine. She said her goal is not to be a tastemaker.

Lyons added the idea that you can make taste or influence someone’s taste is a very precarious and overly presumptuous concept.

Read how fashion icon Jenna Lyons is in the spotlight, not because of her role as president and creative director of J. Crew, but because of her turbulent divorce from her husband of 9 years.
