Jonell George didn’t think she’d ever be at the helm of a clothing brand. But in 2017, the writer and mother–who now works on her brand, Lost In, with her daughters–awoke from a dream that motivated her to explore the concept of getting lost in one’s own city, and the culture within it. “I thought, […]

What was your first job at J.Crew?
“I started 20 years ago. I was an assistant to an assistant.”

Are you bringing back company loyalty?
[Laughs] “I never in a million years dreamed that I would be at the same [place]. I spend more time at my job than I do with my family, so my job does feel like a family.”

What’s your secret to becoming a fashion powerhouse? What advice would you give to someone starting out?
“Love what you do. The people who I see as successful [are those who] stay in the moment and try and do the best they can. Those are the people you want to promote. They’re the ones who are thinking about new ideas and trying to do their job better.”

A recent trip to Brooklyn Flea at One Hanson last weekend was beyond successful. Housed inside the former Williamsburg Savings Bank, a Brooklyn landmark, it is full of all kinds of delights for the senses.

The market was a sea of mustaches, plaid shirts (despite the 100 degree heat) and Ray-Ban glasses for the men and vintage flower dresses and leather Moroccan sandals on ladies.

We worked up an appetite for Brooklyn’s culinary delights after spending time wandering the borough’s selection of cool boutiques. Here are our favourite stops.

Bird (220 Smith St.,718-797-3774, shopbird.com) This little gem of a shop carries 3.1 Phillip Lim, Current/Elliott, Alexander Wang and everything in between.

Butter By Eva Gentry (389 Atlantic Ave., 718-260-9033, evagentry.com) You feel like you are entering a gallery when you pass the stoop of this directional boutique. They carry everything from artfully-crafted Japanese shoes to delicate diamond micro-bands and scented candles.

Brooklyn’s gentrification in recent years has led to many great things, including ones to satisfy our hunger pains. If you’re in New York this summer, hop over the East River to check out one of these spots for a low-key nosh.
