Alannah Hill is one of Australia’s most iconic and well known designers in the fashion industry and has worked her whole life to build up her own fashion empire. Born in 1963 in Tasmania, Alannah grew up in the small coastal town of Penguin until age fifteen, when she moved away to Melbourne by herself in hopes of becoming a famous actress. Alannah has said she took six suitcases filled with costumes in order to assist in her acting career. Once in Melbourne, Alannah acquired a position working as a waitress in a local café. It was there that she was approached and hired by Indigo clothing boutique for whom she worked for fifteen years.
During her time with Indigo, Alannah showed some of her own fashion designs to the owners, who allowed and encouraged her to create her own label for the brand. In 1996 Hill launched her very own self-titled label: Alannah Hill, and in 1997 her first boutique was opened. Since her label has started, Alannah has been designing and producing at least one or two collections almost every year. Some of these collections may include up to 600 different clothing pieces and accessories over all.
