Diane Gilman was born with a mission, and she has followed it for the past 80 years. And despite becoming best known as the “Jean Queen” of HSN and QVC for 30 years, and selling over $100 million dollars worth of her designs despite nobody believing it was possible to fit the middle-aged market back in the day, the fashion was as it turns out just the expression that fit in that particular season of her life.
And she has never been afraid to keep reinventing because in her own words, she’s never let herself down. From a diffIcult and abusive childhood where designing was her escape, through UCLA and her 20s tumultuous (where she found herself designing for Cher, Jimmy Hendrix and eventually every single department store window in Manhattan) she just kept moving. After nursing the love of her life through cancer and then in her 70s, battling and overcoming it HERSELF…Diane decided she needed a change. And that came in the form of a whole new chapter as the wildly popular social media pro-aging advocate and podcast host we know today @TheDianeGilman.
It’s been a bumpy ride, and at times very lonely, but Diane has left it all out on the field after every single chapter, and has lived more lifetimes than most. Perhaps that’s why she is the pro aging advocate we didn’t know we needed. She’s not sugarcoating anything, because she doesn’t need to. She deeply understands that life is an exquisite miracle, and she just wishes everyone, regardless of their age…saw it that way.
