Sarah had promised her fans a J.Crew “try-on haul.” If you’re unfamiliar, a try-on haul is when influencers try on clothing on their Instagram stories to recommend pieces to their followers. The gist is: If you like and trust the blogger, you can see how said clothing looks on a real person and follow their recommendations. The blogger also links to the item, so you can buy it straight from their Instagram stories.
Sarah drew back the curtain on this whole economy pretty starkly, and in a way you rarely see on Instagram. She announced she was canceling her planned J.Crew try-on haul because she would no longer get a commission from her links. A spokesperson for rewardStyle told BuzzFeed News it could not comment on specific relationships with its partners, but screenshots leaked on Instagram of emails from the company and Sarah show the partnership was canceled due to the bankruptcy filing.
Of course, plenty of influencers only share things that they genuinely want to recommend to their followers, and they are dedicated to this authenticity. Some spoke out after rewardStyle announced the change, including Katie Moser, who blogs at“I always find the reaction and pivots from influencers interesting as the result of business decisions that are out of their control,” she wrote on Instagram.

The End of J. Crew Was InevitableOn Monday J. Crew officially filed for bankruptcy. It makes the store the first official major brand casualty of the covid-19 pandemic, but J. Crew’s problems existed long before retailers were required to close their brick and mortar stores. They had one shirt my son really loves that just fits him, you know how that is. I sent him an IM to buy some now before they're gone for good. I used to be a fan. The clothes were simple, but well made and a little stylish. Then the quality went way down while prices increased for very generic clothing. This bankruptcy was a long time coming.

J.Crew was in trouble even before COVID-19 due to a big debt burden and failure to keep up with trendsJ.Crew, saddled with debt, has filed for bankruptcy, but experts say the issues go beyond just the balance sheet. Work dress codes have generally changed and unless you work in finance in NYC you don’t need to rely on a J Crew or a Brooks Brothers for daily wear. I can see how the brand failed to adjust to the times.
