I knew Gilbert during his time in NYC in the mid 90s; he was a star. I have a few of his pieces in my current Boston home. I’ll always remember him.

I was searching for Gilbert for so long...he was one of my mentors at my very first retail job at Escada some 18 years ago. He taught me so much and I am so saddened by his passing. He was truly a fantastic man and leader.

I designed with Gilbert in NYC for over 15 years. He was creative and it was always a marvelous and unusual experience. He will be with me always..

My deepest sympathy to the entire family, especially his Mother who he lovingly called Connie. I am glad you were there with him in his last hours. Meeting Gilbert changed my life, he was extraordinarily creative and full of life. I will miss him deeply.

i found Gilbert his Florida home in Ft. Lauderdale. He was so sweet and kind. I found so much joy in finding him his dream home and he was doing great things with it. I will miss him dearly.

Dear Lisa,
You touched my heart today with the love that you so visibly showed for your brother Gilbert. You were an awesome sister to him I am sure through his life and through his illness. Love to all of you at this time and always.
