"With a grandmother who founded Montreal's Fraid's department store and a father who created Le Tigre, Hillary Rush has retail in her blood. A former advertising director for Gap, Rush opened her hugely popular shop in 2005, mixing old-schoolers like Il Bisonte and K. Jacques." via Lucky"Hillary Rush moved to LA in 2000 to work in marketing for Lulu Guinness. Five years later, she took over the cozy space formerly occupied by Guinness' boutique to bring a New York state of mind to LA. Individuality and sass are found in the proprietress, a booming yet welcoming New Yorker, and in the stores selection of bold-print silk dresses by Twinkle and airy cashmere, Nili Lotan and Kain and Monrow tops. Park Avenue darlings and Silver Lake hipsters alike can sport Maria Bonita Extra's drop-waist dresses for a night out on the town or Sunner's belted tunics for a day visiting gardens." via la.com"An eponymous boutique where you feel comfortable walking in and chatting with the owner is rare. Hillary Rush is exactly that. A small space, oozing ease and comfort, where you're welcome to hang out, chat, and, oh yeah, shop for clothes. The racks overflow with hip, casual, luxurious clothing, a mixture of New York edgy with Los Angeles laid back. Shop small New York labels, designer denim, a smattering of vintage items, cute shoes and bags, soft, luxurious sweaters and an extensive selection of pretty jewelry." via Fodors
