New DG Collection

Submitted by Diane Gilman on April 28, 2009 – 11:52 AM99 Comments

diane gilman blog bg 1 New DG CollectionOn the eve of my 15th Anniversary
I just want to say thank you!

Thank you for your trust, your loyalty
and your passion for fashion!

I hope I’ve brought as much joy and happiness to your lives as you have to mine. Being part of the HSN Family for 15 years has been a privilege and a pleasure!!! We couldn’t have done it without you – so thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Yippeee!!!! It's Almost Summer!!!!

Think white sand beaches…warm breezes…and gulf coast sunsets and you’ll have the inspirations…the essence of “sunkissed denim”…imagine you left your jeans on a tropical beach for a year – the waves rolled over them…the sun baked and bleached them…so you’d have the very softest of handfeels and the palest (and yummiest) of sherbert pastels. That’s SUN KISSED DENIM in our classic 5-pocket boot-cut jean, done exclusively for our 15th Anniversary TS at a never-before price!!! (Just for you!!!). We surrounded our fabulous jean with flowing silk tie-dyed tunics…individually tie-dyed tees…hand-tipped ombred cotton knits and really unique denim pieces. This entire Sunkissed Denim Collection was truly a labor of love…including the ethereal, twinkly and natural seashell jewelry, as well as our chunky bejeweld python handbag. All of it designed during one of our endless blizzards this winter (yes, we design opposite to the season we are living) sitting with pen and sketchpad in hand – the snow whirling around me…I had to dream…

    Hey Diane!!!

    I am a relatively new fan of your designs and delighted to be so. My first experience was this winter when today’s special was the western denim jacket and jeans offered in 3 colors. I just had to take a chance and try them because the jeans were offered in tall sizes. I couldn’t make up my mind so I ordered both denim and black. I am now hooked and have purchased just about everything you’ve offered. PLEASE don’t stop making the tall jeans. You have very loyal tall gals.

  • MICHELE, OH says:

    DIANE, PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THE DISTRESSED PATCHWORK JEANS IN A SIZE 12. I ORDERED THEM AND WAS PLACED ON WAITLIST, NOW THEY ARE SOLD OUT. I AM VERY UPSET. HURRY!

  • Patricia, NV says:

    Dear Diane Gilman, Please-please make more of those silk summer long dresses! I bought all three colors With the slacks, shirts, & tees to match-They are all worn out now- except for the orange & yellow. I’ve gotten complements every time I’ve worn them anywhere. Thant You Pat Haggerty

  • Lucretia, NC says:

    I love your clothes. I am 51 years old and wear your petite jeans. I love your jackets and matching jeans. I now have about 5 sets. I too would like to ask for more summer weight and summer color jacket and jean sets. Also I like the easy pay options for your collections. Would be nice if hsn would offr more easy pay options for your collection. Thanks

  • Susan, TX says:

    I love your jeans, I am 59 years old and this is the first time I can wear jeans, and in a smaller size than I normally wear!!!!!! How great is that! Please, please, please design more clothing with the ombre effect. I find this to be extremely thinning and flattering. So far I’ve only been able to get your tank, so please more ombre!! Thankyou

  • Lee, NY says:

    Hi, Diane
    Please bring back your bright colors camp shirts for summer from last season!! They were soo nice I didn’t chance to purchase them. I think they were short sleeves, not too short. Please not too short sleeve for people who can’t wear tank shirts. I can’t wear the hippee or tie-dyed pieces for on my job.They have a dress code. I love your shirts 3/4 and long shirts for work, but need some short sleeves with that great stretch material.

    Thank you.

  • Toni, NM says:

    Thank you so much for your jeans I am so hard to fit my waist is small and hips are larger more of an hour glass and it is hard to find pant to fit. Your pant fit just right in all the right places. Love the style and glitz of the keep it up. I would love to see more crop pants in you line and with glits would be fab. Thanks once again Diane.

    Diane,

    I love your clothes. The only dress pants that fit me PERFECT are the Amanda. I have not been able to find them on line. Please keep up this style & make more. I am in need of more right now! Thank you for thinking of all of us out there & making a line of clothes that fit! Please let us know if this line (Amanda) is going to continue.

  • DeDe, TX says:

    Please keep making Petite sizes for all of your jeans. It’s so hard to find petite length pants. I’d rather order your jeans, than spend money on alterations. Thanks.

  • Dear Diane, I just received your jeans (3)pairs. They are fantastic. They fit so perfect. They are wonderfully made and make me look great. Please keep making your embellished jeans. Can’t wait to see what else you design. You have a devoted customer. XOXO

    Hi Diane,

    For the first time this month of May, I ordered a pair of your jeans. I have been watching you frequently and I finally bought a pair of your jeans and received them today. I was pleased with the fit. I usually buy the jeans that say these are not your daughters jeans and from now on I will invest in your line. Your quite the sales lady and I am glad that I finally checked it out. Believe me you have a customer for life.

  • Kimberly, FL says:

    Dear Diane,
    500 stars!! I was overjoyed when I tried on one of the two pairs of Sunkissed Denim jeans I bought recently. They were so soft, so comfy-they were just as you said:they felt like pajamas and I wanted to glue them to my body that minute! And they look great on. I bought the blue and white, and although the white was a tad smaller than the blue, common sense could dictate that it would have been because of the opacity of the beautiful white. Who cares? Your jeans are so fabulous!

  • Bella, MN says:

    Diane, I love your jeans and own many. Please address the sizing issues. You are in the position that you’re in because of women that purchase your products but some are starting to get unhappy with shipping costs. The sizing is diffent often and then we have to pay to return them. The great deal we got just went up another 10.00 because we have to return for a different size. I can’t affort to keep returning them so I will have to stop buying them and I hate to do that. Please correct this.

  • Diane, thank you, thank you. I tried your jeans and jackets and everything about a year ago. I have never been happier with the size, fit and great look. Everyone asks me where I get my clothes. I just say its Diane Gilman. I won’t ever buy anything else. I’m spoiled now. Thank you again. Christine Tracy

  • Ilene, NY says:

    Dear Diane,

    Love your jeans, but everything sells out too fast. Can you bring in more crop jeans. Also, you older jeans were softer, the ones that were only cotton and spandex. I don’t care for the ramie. I’m so disappointed I missed the sunkissed cropped jean! I love the cropped jeans with the jewels sould love more. Thank you for your great fit, just not enough merchandise to go around! Don’t ever stop making jeans!

  • debra, NJ says:

    Dianne, I just love yoyr jeans. I am 50 years old and your jeans are the only ones I buy. Just got your sun-kissed jeans in black and white that were the TSV and they fir so nice! One request, can you please bring back more of Item #402-604, the Beaded Floral Embroided Boot-Cut Jeans that you just had on? I went to order a pair and they sole out so fast in the smaller sizes. They look so beautiful and I’d like to order a pair. I’m a size 8. Please try and bring them back in stock.

  • Victoria, TX says:

    I love the rainbow stitching on the chambray jeans. Please make a matching vest. I never go without a vest when I wear your jeans! I wear your jeans morning, noon, naptime and night AND even to church. Yes, I’m a Texan.
    Love you,
    Victoria

  • Barbara, VA says:

    Diane, I love love love your new line of clothes. I ordered everything in different colors. I received everything I ordered and tried them all on and love the fit, they are true to size as always. I really like the jeans you had as special value, I ordered one in every color and they are so nice and fit great. I’m so happy with everything I got I could shout it to the world. Those jeans are so soft. My husband loves everything I ordered and tried on, he loves to see me in your clothes.Keep it up

  • Judy, OK says:

    Diane, I just started purchasing your line over the last year. I have always had a hard time finding the right fit, being a full figure woman. But once I purchased your line, I fell in love with the way that the clothes fit, I am now addicted to your line, everything I have purchased fits, they are true to size, and fit great, They are a fit that you can enjoy all day long, although I am a retired person, and I no longer need the work clothes, I would like to see a line for everyday

  • Angelia, CA says:

    Diane,

    We need more of the Sun Kissed Denim Jackets. I am so excited about this line. The colors are off-the-hook. I purchased the fringed skirts in every color (have to look cute at work), but there are no jackets. I was able to get on waitlist for one of the jackets, but had get a size larger than I nomally wear that’s just how bad want the outfits for the summer. Please, please, please bring in more jackets.

    OMG, It just gets better, and better!

    You are the BEST…

    I love your clothing line. I am one of those crazy women where everything HAS to match. If the jeans are blue the top, purse and shoes are the exact same shade of blue. This goes for every color. Cannot wear a white top with anything but a white bottom.
    Am writing because all you are showing lately are boot cut jeans. I like straight leg or skinny jeans and you have not had then for quite a long time. Please bring back some skinny jeans.

  • Fiona, PA says:

    Happy 15th Anniversary from a very delighted customer. I’ve been with you for many years of wonderful silks, sexy jeans, gorgeous business suits, plus accessories. Thank you, thank you for my stunning wardrobe! My REQUEST: Would you please consider doing a few pairs of sunglasses? Love you.

  • Nita, TN says:

    Congratulations on 15 years. I have only been a DG customer for about a year but I love everything I have purchased. I purchased quite a few item from your anniversary show. However I have not been successful in purchasing your SKINNY JEANS WITH ANKLE ZIP. My size 6Petite has always sold out. PLEASE BRING BACK MORE OF THIS JEAN–I AM DYING TO PURCHASE A PAIR.
    P.S. I am a young 61 years old and your cloths make me feel much younger and hip.
    Thank you
