BROOKLYN—Maybe J.Crew isn't opening a shop in Cobble Hill—but that doesn't meant they didn't just establish a retail presence in the borough. Straight from the inbox comes news that Bird now carries J.Crew's Ludlow suits and shirting at its locations in Williamsburg and Park Slope. Bird introduced J.Crew's sister brand Madewell last March, so this is a logical next step. [Racked Inbox]

MIDTOWN—Sleeping in on Saturday mornings is for suckers. Starting at 7am tomorrow, we'll be liveblogging all the hysteria at the Versace for H&M launch at the chain's Fifth Avenue flagship.
