"My passion in life is to create fashion that enhances individuality", says Jill Stuart, and her unique, whimsical style certainly backs away from a slavish following of trends. Born into a family of designers and retailers, Stuart launched her eponymous line in 1993, and since then her designs have become sought-after across the world. With their soft color palette, unabashedly girlie feel and intricate details her collections are truly irresistible.
