Alannah Hill: A Success Story

Alannah Hill grew up in Tasmania, in a rather wuthering heights meets creaming soda kind of way. She was one of a catholic family of five children brought up in an old fashioned milk bar in the wild coastal town of Penguin.

“I landed in Melbourne from Tasmania at 17, with 6 suitcases and $50 - $30 of which went on the taxi into the city. I didn’t know one single person and not one single person knew me. I was quite hyperactive and did anything anybody asked of me. I was fearless, brave but frightened”.

Almost immediately Alannah was noticed in a café where she was waitressing, dressed even then in her coquettish and ornamental manner, and was asked to work in a fashion store in Chapel Street. She stayed 15 years and established her own label 8 years ago.

Today Alannah heads her own booming and lucrative empire, the idiosyncratic and intensely feminine Alannah Hill label. With eight opulent and enticing stores throughout Australia and with international stockist, her rise is a success story of the old Hollywood variety. Courtesy of MAFW
