Join us for an exclusive evening at private member's club Spring Place with ‘Merchant Prince’ Mickey Drexler - ex-CEO of J.Crew & Gap, founder of Madewell and Old Navy, and current Chairman of Alex Mill - as he shares his invaluable insights and experiences from decades at the forefront of the fashion and retail industries.
Discover the transformative strategies and visionary leadership that led iconic brands like J.Crew and Gap to remarkable success in the late 90s and early 2000s.
"Drexler turned the Gap from a sleepy multi-brand retailer into a juggernaut clothing brand by making office-ready button-downs and khakis comfortable enough to swing dance in. He revitalized J.Crew, hiring legendary women’s wear director Jenna Lyons, whose ballet flats, and cashmere became the uniform for legions of women, including Michelle Obama. Drexler also founded the affordable mall staple Old Navy while at Gap, and the youthful, fashion-forward Madewell for J.Crew." - Fast Company, 2023
