I understand that they are Lisa Robertsons favorite things that she has and a copy of them has been made at a lesser price than the original. Got It Love It. GILI.

There was a good story about QVC in The Hollywood Reporter a couple of years ago. It make reference to GILI being Lisa's line:

"Lisa Robertson has been with the network 18 years; she began by hosting 3 a.m. cooking shows in which she’d have to contend with drunken callers and buy her own ingredients. Now, she hosts several style shows (and sells her own recently launched line, called G.I.L.I.) and admits that not every product she sells is a personal favorite."

The GILI line has sold well, and I think Lisa loves designing....I am betting she is going to start her own line of fashion....and become a millionaire like the other QVC fashion vendors.

Good for her! She's smart and well-connected...and I am sure it will feel good not to have such a crazy schedule and deal with all the other issues. The well-known vendors seem to love her, so I am sure she can get the best-possible advice.

I agree, BOYINTX....Lisa is incredibly smart and has had an amazing run on QVC. I can't imagine being bright and alert at midnight one day, then 3pm the next, then 7am the next....I don't know how the hosts do what they do, and always seem to be so excited to be there, even with kids to get off to school, or little babies at home, etc. So stressful! I think 20 years is enough, and Lisa seems very happy about whatever her new venture is going to be!

But the thing is Lisa is not really a designer. For GILI she buys things and then has them knocked off. Big difference between having an eye for things and actually designing them

well if gili dumped the jewelry and upgraded the material I would even pay more.

GILI is not a name I prefer as it sounds like diet jello but i adore the items I got.
