What to know about Jones New York
Womenswear, built around the office
The line is career and casual womenswear: blazers, suit separates, trousers, blouses, knitwear and day dresses in neutral palettes and easy-care fabrics.
Separates that coordinate, not collections
The focus is mix-and-match workwear pieces meant to work together season after season, rather than seasonal fashion statements.
A 1970 label that built a group
It started as a contemporary separates line inside W.R. Grace's apparel business under Sidney Kimmel with designer Rena Rowan; Kimmel bought it in 1975 and grew Jones Apparel Group around it.
