"   Photo: J.Crew  Last night, American Express hosted a holiday shopping party at J.Crew&amp;#039;s 5th Avenue flagship in New York. Jenna Lyons, Frank Muytjens, Marissa Webb and even CEO Mickey Drexler were on hand to help shoppers put together sparkling outfits and pick out gifts, but, despite our love of marled wool and Christmas cocktail dresses, we wanted to know about spring. The brand&amp;#039;s presentations (held at New York&amp;#039;s Milk Studios) are almost as anticipated as fashion week, and next week&amp;#039;s spring reveal (on Thursday) is no exception. Now that Lyons reigns as President, she&amp;#039;ll formally introduce Webb, the VP of Women&amp;#039;s Design to the industry. We asked Webb for a three-word sneak peek at spring, but she was too excited to stop talking: &amp;quot;Colorful. New silhouettes. New proportions \u2014 I mean, I could give you a lot! It&amp;#039;s more about the silhouettes, making an easy, colorful impact. There&amp;#039;s a little twist because it&amp;#039;s not your usual J.Crew mix, it&amp;#039;s more about the piece itself. It&amp;#039;ll still feel like J.Crew, because of the color, but with really exaggerated silhouettes.&amp;quot; J.Crew&amp;#039;s mastered the art of introducing something new and suddenly making it seem necessary, so consider us on board for spring.
