J. Crew Group, Happy Together

This May 2011 catalog ad -- part of a love-themed issue -- features real employees as models, interracial male couple J. Crew designer Somsack Sikhounmuong and his boyfriend, Micah.

A month earlier, J. Crew president and creative director Jenna Lyons featured an image of her painting her son’s toenails pink in the company’s monthly newsletter with the caption ”Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink.”
