Her Story

Gigi met Eva, Emma, and Tara in design school and ended up in corporate retail fashion, which is exactly where she belongs.  She’s a genius and helps designers conceptually grow and get into the large retailers, basically helping small women entrepreneurs become millionaires. She goes to Bergdorf’s. Nordie’s, Bloomingdale’s, the way other people go to therapy, and considers them equally effective. She has a very cool job, and she loves it. 

She has a friend named Sheila who matches her energy entirely, and together they are a force in any department store. 

Living in New York City, she walks everywhere. She is in great shape and never goes to the gym, a yoga class, or Pilates, or any of that stuff. She’s always on the go and gets her steps in. She just calls this market research. And she often does in 3-inch heels. 

A Random Fact

She tried on a necklace that cost more than her rent. She put it back. She thinks about it every day.

She has been back twice to look at it. It is still there. She has put it back both times. It is a whole situation and we are all, watching it unfold.
