J.Crew

The winner and runners-up of the 2012 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund have created capsule collections for J.Crew that will launch later this month.

The Elder Statesman's Greg Chait — who won this year's prize — Tabitha Simmons, and Jennifer Meyer have all created limited-edition products for the retailer, which will be available on J.Crew's website starting May 22. But on May 8, shoppers who can't wait that long will be able to sign up for access to shop the collaborations one day early.

J.Crew's collaborations with winners of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund are becoming a bit of a tradition. Last year, the brand played host to capsules from Joseph Altuzarra, Pamela Love, and Creatures of the Wind. In 2011, it sold exclusive wares from Prabal Gurung, Eddie Borgo, and Billy Reid.

Stay tuned for more details and pictures from this year's trio of capsule collections.
