I applied in-person. I interviewed at J. Crew (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2012
Interview
In person at store location. Handful of questions and a styling exercise to see how you would put outfits together quickly for a customer. Interviewer was nice an gave a good description of the role and responsibilities for day to day. They also showed you around the store and gave you a layout of all of the categories sold and let you know you would be trained on all areas for a full service experience. Overall this was a pretty easy process and wasn't very hard or intimidating.

I applied online, then I called the store and notified them that I had just applied. They pulled my application and sent me an interview with store manager. Interview lasted about 15 minutes, no additional interviews.
At least for the holiday season, they contact you in the fall to begin the interview process. Pretty straightforward questions. I met with 2 of the managers. Company gets back to you within a couple of weeks.
