Where did the Gili assymetrical skirt come from?

I was looking at skirts this morning on the Nordstrom website, and I noticed a skirt that is identical to the Gili assymetrical skirt with the zippers. It is curious to me that the skirts are identical, including the price. The Nordstrom skirt is by Vince Camuto. Wonder if the same manufacturer is making clothes for both?

I don't know who manufacturers her clothes but if the same manufacturer is making them, you'd think she would talk about that during the presentation. Not naming the designer by name of course but mention that they are both by the same manufacturer.

Vince's skirt isn't that much more than Lisa's. Personally, I'd go with a tried and true designer on this one.

Aren't the VC items sold on HSN the same as what is offered in retail? I know the footwear and handbags are. I thought the clothing was as well.

Oddly enough, Colleen Lopez brought a top to HSN under her label and the original was a VC top. I thought that was a little odd.

Lisa did not say where the original for the "inspiration" came from, but she did say the fabric is not the same. She says hers is better. I got the skirt and it is very nice. The fabric almost feels like neoprene. I think she said it is a scuba fabric. I am happy with the GILI version.

I believe you can use store coupons on VC items.

She says hers is better This is NOT LIsa's design NOR does she produce or make fabrics!
