I'm sure it will sell well but if Lisa were still around, it would be sold out by now along with all the other new pieces of GILI.

No doubt. She would have been promoting it non-stop on her FB page and whipping everyone into a frenzy. There probably even would have been a pre-sale for anyone on FB.

Sox, the pictures that you added make the jacket look better. I've said it before and will say it again - nobody could sell GILI like Robertson.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

Bird, the bottom (gigantic) photo is the original Cavalli ... just for side-by-side comparison.

Without knowing the work that goes into these jackets, it just seems like that would be more difficult to put together than these grommets. And that jacket is over $100 less. Price is crazy (and I usually don't say that.)

I have that pieced leather jacket, too! It's sensational, isn't it?! I can't imagine the labor required to create that look, so perfectly and flawlessly. That one is spot on--this one, not so much. Well designed clothing does more than cover up, it enhances and complements the human form. You can say it--the price is crazy!! Right now, in the NM or Nordstrom catalogs are nicer examples at that price point!

Yes, a real snake oil salesperson, she was, albeit disingenuous! Unfortunately that LOVE she professed for everything G.I.L.I. doesn't exactly translate to her real life. Good enough for us, but not for her.

Enjoy it if you like it, I'll wear the leather jackets I already have and not spend the $ for that one.

Now I know why Lisa left. It probably wasn't up to her standards either!

Lipstickdiva · ‎03-10-2010

I wonder if this thing was in it's final form and approved by Lisa before she left or if someone else is approving the new GILI and this fell on their watch?

I suspect the production takes more time than two months. My guess it was on her watch.
