At an early age, Alannah Hill ran away from home with eight suitcases of costumes and a fierce determination to succeed.
Her uniquely ornamental vision along with a passionate belief in the power of "Dressing Up" gave Alannah the success she dreamed about as a young girl growing up in the deep south of Tasmania.
As one of Australia’s most successful fashion designers, she walked the razor’s edge between two identities. Who was the real Alannah Hill?
Alannah’s shocking and exhilarating memoir, Butterfly on a Pin, describes her journey of transformation from a joyless and abused childhood to a dream-come-true career peak of love, loss and reinvention.
