Repeat after me: “Today is the youngest I will ever be. It’s time to embrace my radiant Act 3.”

  • If you’ve ever stopped believing in your dreams . . .
  • If you’ve ever said, “I’m too old. I’m too scared. I’ve made too many mistakes to get the life I want . . . ”
  • If you’ve ever felt underestimated, invisible, or irrelevant . . .

Jean Queen Diane Gilman has the electrifying life story and the empowering life lessons you need right now. Diane found her greatest success at age sixty, when she sparked a denim revolution: designing blue jeans for real women with real bodies. She’s sold nearly nineteen million pairs of her DG2 jeans on HSN and created a sisterhood of seven hundred thousand women who feel too young to be old.

With raw candor and humor, HSN’s top fashion star reveals how she turned personal heartbreak into trailblazing success—and how her struggle with breast cancer became her bridge to love. Diane’s twenty-five secrets for a vibrant, visible, relevant Act 3 will change your life.

Join Diane in her new mission, sparked by her DG2 sisters: “Let’s show the world how cool aging can be.”

About Diane Gilman

Diane Gilman started designing clothes as soon as she could hold a crayon. She grew up in Los Angeles—a free spirit of the swingin’ ’60s, embroidering her blue jeans and energizing her creative soul by hanging out with the most talented musicians and poets of the time. Gilman’s career ignited when stars like Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix began wearing her custom jeans. By 1974, her designs were featured in every major department store, and in 1994 she appeared on HSN, the Home Shopping Network, for the first time. Today, her DG2 line is the top-selling fashion brand on the network, with 100 million dollars in sales per year. Gilman is known as the Jean Queen, because her age-defying designs have inspired women to live forever in blue jeans—and forever young.

Review

“In home shopping circles, Diane Gilman is the equivalent of Barbra Streisand: a legend, an above-the-marquee name.” —MICKEY BOARDMAN, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR OF PAPER MAGAZINE

“Diane Gilman shows women how to face life’s toughest challenges with honesty, strength, and optimism. Her positive attitude and unfailing belief in her healing were inspiring to me as her doctor, and all those around her.” —DR. ELISA PORT, CHIEF OF BREAST SURGERY AND DIRECTOR OF THE DUBIN BREAST CENTER AT THE MOUNT SINAI HEALTH SYSTEM

“Risk-taking and boldness are the essence of transformation—no matter what age you are. Diane’s life is a testimony to her boldness and her unwavering belief in her talent.” —MINDY GROSSMAN, FORMER CEO OF HSN

“Diane is the epitome of this adage: we age not by our years but by the stories we tell ourselves. So make the most out of your third act! Don’t waste another moment!” —LAN PHAN, CREATOR OF THE COMMUNITY OF SEVEN

“Born with dazzling talent, Diane shows women of all ages how to live with outstanding success and create trailblazing happiness.” —R. J. GRAZIANO, JEWELRY DESIGNER

Full disclosure: I had heard of Diane Gilman and her jeans, but I had never watched Home Shopping Network. I bought and read this book because I love and admire her co-author, Jan Tuckwood, for her energy, positivity, and writing style. I expected to love the writing, which I did. I did not expect to end up also loving and admiring Diane. What an inspirational woman! Thank you, Diane and Jan, for sharing this amazing story with us. I also now want to buy a pair (or 48 pairs!) of DG2 jeans! I'm hoping the tall jeans will fit this 6'2" woman!

Diane Gilman is a gift to women everywhere and especially those of us in our third act. She is not only an amazing designer who used her life's experiences (and challenges) to create a clothing brand that elevates women of all shapes and sizes but, in this book, offers hard-won advice on how to remain vibrant at any age. Part confessional, part testament to the power of owning one's truths, and one-hundred percent inspirational, if you are over fifty, ladies, you need to get a copy of this book. And a copy or two for your BFFS :)

Too young to be old

A lot of people give up on their dreams because they think they're too old now. They believe they're not bold enough to achieve their sky-scrapping dreams. They think it's all downhill after 40. But, Diane Gilman - "The Jean Queen " has completely debunked all these misconceptions with her electrifying life story and inspiring life lessons.

Diane Gilman is a fashion designer and a breast cancer survivor. She started designing apparel at a very young age. In the early 70s, her designs were featured in every major department store. But she achieved her biggest success at age - sixty when she sparked the denim revolution by designing Blue jeans for real women with real bodies. Gilman is known as the "Jean queen" because her jeans have connected and inspired women to live forever young and forever in blue jeans. She sold nearly nineteen million of her DG2 Jeans on HSN.

Diane's story is a huge source of inspiration for women at any stage. Her story shows how she transformed hardships and heartbreaks into trailblazing success.

The book is majorly divided into three parts and consists of 30 short and easily digestible chapters. This is a well-written, captivating read. The writing style is extremely engaging with brilliant storytelling.

I had a great time reading this incredible life story. I'd recommend this book to all the womens out there. It's a “rule book for women who don’t like rules " that's how the author puts it. But I believe it is a book where every person can learn something from it. So, recommended to everyone!

Thanks!
