Gilt headed to Harvard recently, to meet with some beautiful – and brainy – students with style to boot. Our founders Alexis Maybank & Alexandra Wilkis Wilson hit their alma mater (both have B.A.s and M.B.As from the Ivy League school) to talk to 250 students about their careers before Gilt Groupe – and about setting up and growing the site. After they got the crowd warmed up and ready for some fabulous fashion, 10 gorgeous Gilt members took to the runway in Emerson Hall, in outfits chosen by us. We asked those marvelous models to tell us a whole lot more about what they wore that night – and to give us some insights into their own personal style.
