Hilton Hollis Pop-Up at The Hive

Betsy Fisher opened her downtown women’s clothing boutique in 1998 and paved the way for independent retailers in the DMV. For more than 30 years, she taught us all the art of dressing well. Betsy recently closed her shop and moved out west. We are all sad to see her go but excited to see what she chooses to do next! If you know Betsy, you know she has something up her sleeve for sure.

One of her clients reached out to me to see if I would help make sure one of her most popular lines, Hilton Hollis, was still represented in this area. I have always admired his collection, so obviously, I jumped at the chance.

Hilton is a native of Mississippi, where his love of sewing and design was nurtured by his grandmother, a master quilter. As a child, he dreamed of moving to NYC to be a designer, and clearly, he made that dream come true. He is known for his contemporary feel and classic fit. I have heard customers go on and on about fabrics and how well they travel. His pants have what can only be described as a cult following. I can’t wait to buy a pair for myself.

We are happy to announce that from November 12 – 15, we will be hosting a Hilton Hollis pop-up at The Hive. We will have a capsule of his fall 2020 collection and special orders are available. Don’t worry; we are going to have Hilton visit the store in person to feature his spring collection in 2021. We just didn’t want to miss an opportunity for his fall collection to come to Alexandria, even if only for a weekend. So, take advantage of this chance!
