“When you are sorrowful
look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in
truth you are weeping for
that which has been your
delight.” Kahlil Gibran
I had the pleasure of working with Jill several times over the
past few years. Her sweet demeanor, positive attitude, and warmhearted smile were contagious and you could not help but love her.
She always acted with professionalism and grace, and was, without
a doubt, an ally for the plus industry and community. She is gone
too soon and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go
out to her husband, family and loved ones at this difficult time.

Jill Hutchison was a marketing and ecommerce guru. She
always bought a barrage of ideas and an “outside the box” way of
preparing for each FFFWeek event.. In 2011, I fondly remember Jill
wanting to telecast the FFFWeek runway show on a jumbotron in
Times Square. I, always cautious and wanting the plus industry to
be presented in the best possible light, was afraid that any error in
the show would be seen by millions, politely declined. Now, I wish
I had thrown caution to the wind and partnered with Jill on that
request. Jill took chances, created, developed and nurtured her
ideas. We need more of that, in every industry. Rest in peace, Jill
and thank you for a memorable partnership.
