Born into a family of boutique owners (her parents helmed Mister Pants, a popular ladies store in the ’60s), the industrious Jill Stuart got her start in fashion at just 15, when she sold a collection of her own accessories to Bloomingdale.s. Stuart.s namesake line was founded in the .80s as an accessories line, which then led to the launch of her womenswear line. The brand is made up of three collections: the Jill Stuart runway collection, the Jill Stuart Collection, and Jill by Jill Stuart collection. Lindsay Lohan was one of the house.s recent spokeswomen.
