J. Crew employees may have a swell employee discount, but they won't be able to use it on the brand-new much-coveted Alexa Chung for Madewell collection. The Cut reports: "We hear that employees are banned from using their discounts on Alexa Chung's new Madewell line, which just went up for sale online. Of course they could probably find a way around it, and sneak into the store as a plebeian and buy it full price, but all special employee shopping privileges for this collection are off."
