Elizabeth Jane Tilberis (née Kelly; 7 September 1947 – 21 April 1999) was a British fashion magazine editor of Manx and English ancestry.
Liz was the runner-up and began an internship there, making tea, picking up dress pins, and ironing for fashion shoots for 25 pounds per week.
After 20 years at British Vogue, she was offered a lucrative job in New York City as part of Ralph Lauren's design team in 1987.
Anna Wintour, the then-editor, suddenly called Liz into her office, and informed her that she was moving to New York to become the new editor of House & Garden.
She escorted Diana, the Princess of Wales, on one of her last visits to New York City, even though Tilberis herself was undergoing chemotherapy treatments for her cancer.
Diana would telephone and write to Tilberis to give her words of comfort and encouragement, until her own death in a car accident on 31 August 1997.
