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.
