That same year, Gigi launched a clothing line made of cashmere fabric called Guest in Residence. In an interview celebrating the brand's launch, she admitted she's always cold, feeling chilly even when others are sweating. When she moved from Los Angeles to New York, she struggled with the cold winters, and her parents sent her their cashmere sweaters. Those became her inspiration for the collection.
