What is her connection to Katie Lee Gifford?  I know Jill is in charge of G.I.L.I. clothes, I presume.  Thanks.  Any information is appreciated.

She works for NBC and appears at least once a week on Today Show.  She seems to flit around NYC being "important".

Her connection with Gifford, they just work on The Today show together.

Thats all I am familiar with.  Jill is also a best selling author I just heard.

She does many things it sounds.

Thank you, ladies.  I question her taste level.  I mean, look at the clothes and handbags in this GILI collection.  OMG!

When GILI first came into PM Style it stood for "got it, love it" from Lisa Robertson.  The merchandise was copied from items that Lisa owned or aspired to own.  IMO, when Lisa left, the name should have changed.

 

The current line seems very trendy, very NYC fashionista.  It is obviously designed for tall, thin women.  Just because a brand makes larger sizes doesn't mean those garments look good on larger, more realistic bodies.  I don't think short jackets are flattering on most people.
