Hian's friendship with Dr. Barbara Fowble at Fox Chase led to this unique union, bringing fashion and breast cancer awareness full-circle. This special evening gives me the opportunity to talk about breast cancer issues, including the benefits of fashion for women undergoing cancer treatment. Hian's dramatic and alluring collection runs the gamut from day to evening.
Wearable geometry is the context through which the designer works.
Highlights include a strapless black jersey dress with a contoured hemline and a wide bank of silver paillettes running down the front, conjuring an evening of all out glamour. Born on Philadelphia's Main Line, Hian has childhood diaries filled with drawing that show there is one thing in life that she was meant to do- become a fashion designer. By age five, she was sketching dresses and creating patterns. By age 10, she was outfitting herself in the very first Paula Hian Signature collection. Three decades later, Hian is still living her dream.
