Hian Sight

Sourcing her sartorial inspiration from art and architecture, couture knitwear designer Paula Hian has become a cult favorite of Main Liners who are looking to meld high fashion and the perfect fit.

Equally as adept at creating sublimely feminine power suits as she is designing attering dresses, Hian’s taste level is matched by the quality of her wares, with all of her collections being handcrafted at the same factory in France as the one selected by legendary fashion houses Chanel and Hermès. Pop into her tony King of Prussia boutique (paulahian.com) to check out her new resort/early spring line, featuring luxe fabrics and yarns that she went to Milan to custom-make. Transitioning seamlessly between seasons by embracing hues from pastels of blush and powder blue to classic black and metallics (think amethyst, navy and anthracite), her D’or, Fawn and Amanda lines all feature Hian’s signature details, including dramatic ombré pleating, textured materials, longer hemlines and customized geometric patterns.
