Um, remember when we mused out loud about the likeness between our very own St. Helena-raised model Michele Ouellet and J.Crew titan Jenna Lyons? (If not, get your refresher here).
Well, it looks like the folks at J.Crew are on the exact same page, casting Ouellet for the fall '12 NYFW presentation that took place just yesterday. Of course, Lyons is totally in on the doppelganger effect as well, posing with the model-slash-vintner (who stars in Madewell's new denim campaign, plus her very own Vogue feature this month!) with a big grin on her mug.
Can a J.Crew campaign for Ouellet (aka "Little Jenna" to the folks at Madewell) be far away? We're crossing our fingers that it's happening sooner rather than later.

I love her style, the mix of j crew with celine and other high end designers. Even when I don't like some pieces, she still looks great and manages to make it work. Not everyone can be trendy and and unique at the same time. She's always surprising and doesn't look like anyone else. Thanks for this thread.
