The Reinventions Of Alannah Hill.

Alannah Hill the brand is one of the most iconic fashion labels in Australia but what about Alannah Hill the woman?

Mia first met Alannah 20 years ago when she was one of the biggest names in fashion. Since that time, Alannah has had a baby and raised him as a single mum. She’s also lost her own mother, her beloved business and for a while her identity.

She shares her harships and successes in her memoir, Butterfly On A Pin and she’s sitting down with Mia to talk about it.

“That’s part of the reason I wrote the book – not to show off. Not to blab about my story. I wanted people to understand that I wasn’t just this tizzy designer that said this stupid thing. I wanted validation – because my mum and dad never saw anything in me. Talking about it makes me feel loved”
