Does anyone know what high-end jacket the GILI TSV jacket is modeled after? They keep mentioning it and I'm simply curious. Thank you!

I'd be curious, as well. Apparently it is based a $400+ jacket.

Did Lisa Robertson deign this GILI jacket?  I realize Lisa left QVC in December 2014 but it takes many months to bring a product to market.  I remember how Lisa was held up as a top GILI spokesperson with much input and influence.  I'm not impressed with this item at all.  Does anyone know who designed it if not Lisa?  Was it the Jill person?

I think it's based off a Vince leather jacket: http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/Vince-Drape-Front-Leather-Jacket/prod104330021/p.prod

The original G.I.L.I. leather jacket with the wing collar made of horizontal strips of leather was likely based on a Neiman Marcus jacket that Halle Berry wore in the show Extant.

There's a photo of her wearing it it on Pinterest and also it is sold out on Last Call too,

All I see in this jacket is a drape front open cardi done in leather.  Nothing special about this at all.  If I were to INVEST big money - and for me, this is BIG money - I'd rather spend $188 on that leather moto d&co jacket. 

I want a jacket that has a closure to it so I can wear it as an outdoor jacket.  The d&co moto zips, looks really good, nice leather, better colors offered, but in the winter when I need a winter coat over my jacket I can easily do that. 

I would not be spending $199/$200 on this open front cardi/jacket that doesn't close and especially not because it says 'GILI' on a label that no one knows of unless you're a qvc shopper.  G I L I means nothing to me quite honestly.

I believe during Courtney's show she said the retail price is $438 and then Jill Martin said that the jacket which the G.I.L.I. jacket was a retail price of 4-digits.

right now looking at them showing this on Jackie with a low hem tank covering her bum with the GILI jacket...just not a good look.  Oh well, this too shall pass!!

It's not even all leather.  Ponty knit on the sleeves and cotton on the collar.  Not for me.  I have recently seen this exact style jacket in faux suede material in Marshall's for $24.99. Obviously different, but the same style.

Hi pink!  I think it would be very difficult to put a closure on this and have it drape the way it should.  It's not as easy of a fix on leather with that type of front as some think. I like the draping, but I don't like the lack of closure.  A closure would ruin the look of the draping, and it would be difficult to do making it look the same overall.
