The Return of the J.Crew Catalog

J.Crew’s catalogs were right at the top of the heap, aspirational artifacts full of attractive people, beautiful vistas, and the kinds of clothing that’d ensure you—yes, you!—would fit right in with them. You might recall seeing one arrive at your doorstep sometime between 1983 and 2017, when the last issue was printed. The brand’s printed matter was so iconic, it’s still the stuff of legend in menswear spaces and dedicated social-media accounts. And now, in conjunction with the Fall 2024 campaign, men’s creative director Brendon Babenzien is bringing J.Crew’s beloved catalog back.

We’re at RPM Underground, a record shop in Midtown, Manhattan, and he’s found the LP in the classics section. His hand traces over the cover for a moment and then keeps digging through the collection, intrigued by what he might find next. As we wander through the aisles, Shaboozey (real name Collins Obinna Chibueze) flips through LPs and calls out familiar artists. There’s Coldplay, Sam Cooke, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Billie Eilish, and The Beatles. Anyone who’s anyone has a record here and, as we turn the corner, he realizes he does too.

He is, after all, the son of Rob Lowe, and an accomplished writer, producer, and actor in his own right. Perhaps you’ve watched his show, Unstable, which tackles the fictional father-son relationship of an eccentric biotech entrepreneur who’s spiraling after the death of his wife and his flautist son who has tried his best to stay away from his father’s business but is forced to work with him to keep him from further misfortune. If you’ve seen it, you know both his acting and writing really shine. I caught up with Lowe to discuss dropping stem cell research to pursue writing and acting, his opinion on the term “nepobaby,” his personal style journey and favorite brands, and plenty more.
