What are your style inspirations?
My Mother loved to pamper us. She told us to dress up no matter what and look neat. Don’t wait until you are in a coffin to wear beautiful things. My mother lived to be 100 years old and never wore makeup.
Do you always wear sunglasses?
Yes, I have a lot of pairs, Gucci, Versace, Ferregamo. They are very stylish. It just does something to a person.
Where do you find your clothes?
I go around anywhere and if I see something I like that is comfortable, I like it, I buy it.
What do you think about the way today’s youth dresses?
I have a more young way of thinking. My mother said always look young and be positive.
Jill has to be one of our most interesting Advanced Style Subjects to date. She looks so pretty and true to her California roots in her Guatemalan worry doll hat and wonderfully colorful dress and coat. After meeting Jill, however, it became clear that her sense of adventure is definitely not limited to style: she told us that for her 80th Birthday, when she was in Vegas with her son, she became the oldest person to go Bungee Jumping! Check out the video of her jump, below… Amazing!
This adorable couple, visiting New York from their home in England, exudes happiness and great attitude. When we met them, they were strolling down the streets of the West Village with their son and granddaughter, enjoying a sunny Autumn day. It’s always impressive to see such stylish travelers, even when you know they’ve only got a suitcase of things to choose from. We hope they enjoy the rest of their trip.
