While scurrying from a Macy’s editorial preview (spot-on) to another showroom review-we ran into the even prettier in person, très intelligent Jillian Lewis-who many thought should’ve won Project Runway last season.
No matter-she’s doing just fine and is swamped with work. For those who found her runway collection the pièce de resistance of Fashion Week, her “visual” poetic looks will hit Searle stores, sometime in late summer (Fall 2008).
Plus-Lewis gave us the 411 on her devoted coterie of private clients... "I'm booked till OCTOBER!!!"…
Her own line is jelling too and we cannot wait.
We think this young talent can handle the chi-chi high end and stylish lower end capsule collections à la Vera Wang. IMHO-Lewis is sunnier in manner and outlook.
