We had met probably about two years ago, at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, and in her speech she said, “Thank you so much, Jenna Lyons, for making me wear shorts, although it’s not going very well.” At the end of the night after the dinner, I went up to her and I said, “Sorry!” And then we started to talk and we started a text friendship and started to hang out a little bit when I’d see her at events. So did she reach out to you or did you reach out to her for this part? Her passion for what she’s doing, her passion and interest in what other people are doing and what their lives are, is genuine. What’s amazing about Lena is I feel like her enthusiasm and her warmth is so genuine and not at all manufactured. And what’s interesting to me is that you often get a sense of somebody and you don’t really know if the person that you’re seeing is the person that they are. She talks about Lena like she’s an adult, and I think she’s always talked to her like an adult. Her start in life had a few things going - obviously her mom, Laurie, is incredible. I know, and of course that’s on top of films under her belt. I’m feeling really not so great about myself! She’s in her third season of an award-winning show. What’s so interesting and incredible is that the girl is 27 years old. She is probably one of the most groundbreaking women of today. I’m probably Lena Dunham’s biggest fan, from the moment I saw Tiny Furniture, and I followed her. I was so honored, it was crazy! The whole experience was incredible. I was probably the most excited I’ve ever been in my life to be included in the trailer. I have no idea to what extent because I haven’t seen any of them, so I don’t know whether I got cut. So I’ve had the privilege of already watching your episode. Tonight Jenna Lyons will make her acting debut on Girls. Luckily, the role won’t be too much of a stretch: She plays a no-nonsense GQ editor who was, according to Dunham, inspired by Lyons in real life. The Cut spoke with J.Crew’s creative director at the Condé Nast Traveler magazine relaunch party hosted by Anna Wintour and Christy Turlington on Thursday night, where she told us how she landed the role, what Lena’s like on set, and how she really feels about fedoras.
