NEW YORK, Dec 30, 2002/ FW/ --- Jill Stuart's formative years was in Manhattan's garment district.
Her parents owned a store called "Mister Pants" at 7th Avenue.
Surrounded by fashion all the time, it was
not surprising that she sold her first collection to Bloomingdales at the age of 15.
Known for her fun and sexy looks, Jill Stuart's clothes always have an air of sensuality around
them.
She might cover the model from head to toe, yet, there is always sex appeal that comes with
her creations.
And that is the case with her Spring 2003 collection.
It was very utilitarian - boiler suits, cargo pants, pinafore and cotton tanks.
Yet, there is innate femininity in them. Oh yes, it's meant for urban wear, and more
specifically for downtown girls who work hard and play hard!
One great thing about this collection, they are always wearable!
The designer finds inspiration from everywhere - through travelling and by observing the world
around her.
She appreciates a woman's need for individuality and personal style, hence she
creates clothes that makes you notice the woman, not the designer outfit.
