A Day in the Life of Mickey Drexler, J.Crew's Star CEO

Mickey Drexler is a name the fashion industry is more than familiar with. Basically a household name, Drexler is a behind-the-scenes guy, currently at the helm of J.Crew as its CEO. Last night, Drexler was honored by the CFDA with the Founder’s Award for his lifelong work in retail. First making a name for himself as the CEO of Gap Inc. and frequently credited with Gap’s meteoric rise in the ’90s, Drexler became the CEO of J.Crew in 2002 and has since been the driving force of J.Crew’s repositioning as an upscale American brand. Take a look into Mickey’s busy daily life in the video accompanying his CFDA award, which includes evidence of his infamous loudspeaker announcements he uses to communicate with his entire J.Crew team. An inspiring individual, Drexler is surely deserving of the Founder’s Award honor.
