Largely behind-the-scenes, he worked for Perry Ellis, Stephen Sprouse, Isaac Mizrahi and Anne Klein among others.
Mills, 76, died at the Inspira Medical Center in Vineland, N.J., of congestive heart failure, according to his sister Doreen DeLucca.
For nearly two decades prior to the pandemic setting in, Mills ran Greg Mills Ltd., a design consultancy and showroom that specialized in ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear. Kind, respectful and funny, Mills always thought of others first, his sister said. Mills was a familiar face at the Who’s Next trade show, representing such brands as Tomas Maier, Brandon Sun, Derek Lam, Jed, Cesare Gatti and Lola Hats.
Born in Queens, Mills’ father worked as a lithographer and the family of five grew up in Fair Lawn, N.J. At 18, Mills moved toCity to quench his fashion interests by taking some art and design college classes. He started his career with the former mass merchandise retailer W.T. Grant and then moved on to Geoffrey Beene. From 1973 to 1979, he acted as international sales manager at Anne Klein & Co.
Having met Mills during the Perry Ellis years, when Ellis was still alive, designer Jeffrey Banks described Mills as, “incredibly knowledgeable about fashion with a great sense of humor that worked well in the showroom. That slightly acerbic, but not sarcastic demeanor was just fantastic to stores and customers. They loved it. When it came to any discussion about the clothing he was selling to you, he was a total straight shooter. But you would also be entertained.
