Jill Stuart was created and designed by Jill Stuart from New York. Her parents managed a ladies' wear first. At the tender age of 15, she announced her first collection of jewelry and handbags, attracting the eye of Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, America's premier department stores. Jill Stuart began studying fashion in earnest, and at age of 27 established her own fashion line, Jill Stuart. She opened her flagship store in New York's SoHo district, where she unveiled the Jill Stuart 1994 New York collection. In 2005, a decade after the launch of her brand, Jill launched the Jill Stuart Cosmetics line. Today, Jill Stuart is a fashion designer who enjoys the fervent support of young women everywhere, in Japan and around the world.
