Alexandria ''Ally'' Hilfiger

[Lonewalker]

Is she still friends with that other girl who she was on the show with? And what did she go to rehab for? Depression?

^ According to her interview in Page Six Magazine, she is no longer friends with Jaime bc she said something along the lines of "she was using me to get famous."

 

[jackieonassis]

Ah really? She always seemed a little strange and attention seeking on teh show.

 

[neverland]

i never liked jaime. she was always so draining.

 

[babyjane]

Hmmm how can you use a non-famous person to get famous? Anyway I like her style.

Before we fell in love with The Hills and The Real Housewives of Orange County (our not-so-secret obsession), there was once a little MTV gem called Rich Girls. If for some strange reason you missed the single season in 2003 (which was mundane and mesmerizing in equal parts), the reality show followed the lives of two, well-to-do teens in New York. One of the subjects/stars of the show was Ally Hilfiger and we found her practically impossible not to watch, thanks to her sweetly sheltered point of view. Recently, Hilfiger popped up on our radar again, but this time we find her compelling for wholly different reasons. The 22-year-old is holding her own in the competitive, Manhattan fashion scene and we think she’s one to watch.


Unlike many of her privileged background peers, Hilfiger has a down-to-earth take on trends that is both accessible and personal (she looks like she actually styles herself). Mathematically speaking, she seems to be working with a 60% uptown/40% downtown mix for a smart—but never precious—style. She wears sophisticated pieces in a youthful manner, like pairing the above, furry vest with a t-shirt and skinny black pants for a night at Pete Wentz’s weekly karaoke competition. We also approve of how Hilfiger reuses her favorite wardrobe staples, like the animal print belt she wore to a party for a Vanity Fair fete (hot pink dress, far right) and then again for Nina Garcia’s book party (black dress, far left).

She’s also supporting young designers—always a savvy choice—and wearing buzzy pieces from these up-and-coming lines. The electric blue Hologram Dress ($475) with sequined details (above, second from right) Hilfiger chose for an Art Basel party is not only one our favorite pieces from Alexander Wang’s resort collection, but tastemaker Erin Wasson’s too. We were also excited to see she’s wearing Katy Rodriguez too (above, far right) and doing her own take on a suit, albeit a modern one with shorts instead of a skirt (above, middle). Hopefully Hilfiger’s eye and personal stamp will be available to the greater public. She’s rumored to be opening a boutique in LA soon and we’re quite curious to see what she’d stock!

Cool, thanks for posting that! I've been wondering about her.

 

[Meg]

yeah i think her style has gotten really interesting. And she's one of a few people who can wear a center part really really well.

 

[style_expert]

oh wow she certainly knows how to dress...great she's not wearing Hilfiger all the time (Margerita Missoni anyone )

She looks like Carine in the last one. Not pretty.
Love the white coat though.

NYLON magazine did "Ali Hilfiger's in the closet." Did she change the spelling of her name or is Nylon a complete group of idiots that have been spelling it incorrectly this entire time?

Ally Hilfiger on the ‘New Generation of Creative People’

When last we checked in with Ally Hilfiger, daughter of Tommy and appealing teenage star of 2003's Simple Life precursor Rich Girls, she was living a bohemian life between her Manhattan apartment and Berlin and working on a series of paintings featuring the number 8. "It's a lucky number for me," she explained. Tomorrow night, the fruits of her creative period will be on display at the Chelsea Art Museum, as part of a multimedia installation she collaborated on with her friend and painting partner Izzie Gold, otherwise known as Francesco Chivetta, a 26-year-old D.J. and multimedia artist who describes his work as "Warhol-esque Lichtenstein with a slight case of Basquiat."
The other day we spoke to them about the show over the phone. Ally was sick. "I sound like a dead cow," she said. "My throat is going to fall out of my ***."

The actual paintings will not appear in the installation; the museum is only hosting them for one night and doesn't want to take the work from their permanent collection down. So images will appear in a film instead, which Ally says complements the work, anyway. "Picture a really cool motif of flowers and sunshine, and then bam! There's a piece of Ally Hilfiger art. Then bam! There's a piece of Izzie Gold art," she said. "It's really representative of our generation right now," she said of the medium. "Basically the new generation of creative people, you're multitalented, and you use your talents and creativity in every aspect."

Francesco chimed in: "You don't have to be a painter or a fashion designer," he said. "You can be both, and you can rob banks at the same time."

"I like to have all my creative outlets exposed," said Ally. "I produce films, I paint, I've helped my father design clothes since I was 11 years old."

Speaking of, is her father supportive of her work? "Oh, yes," Ally said. "We call him the Godfather. He helps us make everything stronger and better."

"It's like American Gangster, minus the heroin," Francesco said. "He is like a true patron of the arts."

But to this new generation of creative people, the old man's ideas can sometimes seem old-fashioned. "Our parents' generation, they were really all about really focusing on one thing," Ally explained. "Our generation is into more of a multi-thing. It's kind of like we're our parents generation, but with ADD."
