WASHINGTON (AP) - January 21, 2009 President Barack Obama wore a white satin bow tie to all the
Inaugural Balls Tuesday night. First lady Michelle Obama wore J.
Crew gloves, a sweater and skirt from the company to different
events. And daughters Malia and Sasha wore coats, dresses and other
items from the retailer to various occasions celebrating their
father's inauguration.
While the items were made specifically for the Obamas, J. Crew
said customers can see highlights or similar items in upcoming
seasons.
"We are thrilled to be a part of this historic event," Frank
Muytjens, vice president of men's design at J. Crew, said in a
statement.
Shares of J. Crew jumped 96 cents, more than 10 percent, in
trading Wednesday to close at $9.99.
