Lisa R. discusses G.I.L.I.

TTerri · ‎02-20-2011

Lisa Robertson has a blog site and has created a blog about the G.I.L.I. line, link.

Quote: " I did it because I loved it, not because of a bottom line. It is and has always been owned by QVC, I did not have a financial stake in the line. I put my heart and soul into it because it was something I loved and was proud of. It was an amazing opportunity, an exciting challenge, and I learned so much more than I thought possible in these last few years."

This was discussed yesterday on some other threads which is probably why you're not getting any responses.

Check out ""QVC Welcomes Jill Martin as Creative Director of GILI"" in Fashion Forum. There are others too.

Lisa should have been compensated, it was her idea.

And maybe she thought it was time.

Her contract was coming up for renewal and my guess, the Q didn't want to meet her demands so Lisa gave it some thought and decided to allow the Q to go on without her. I think she made the right decision. It seems the Q has been cutting costs, the quality is no longer there while the prices have increased. The only thing keeping them profitable is the convenience for those who don't shop online, are home bound, or haven't B&M stores near by.

How do you know that her contract was up for renewal?

Somehow, the blog doesn't seem authentically LR's. Firstly, there are no photos of her and we all know how much she likes to post photos of herself. Secondly, the blog pages have no background... very sterile. The blog appears to me to have been created by an impostor.

Someone said the link to the blog was located on her FB page, so I doubt it was written by an imposter.

I don't think it was her idea. She stated that QVC ""came to her"" about the line. I certainly don't think she should have received any extra compensation for doing her job and doing what QVC (her employer) asked her to do. And I don't think she ""designed"" anything. She took items she already owned and copied them.
