ALLY HILFIGER
Name: Alexandria Caroline Hilfiger
Born: 26 February 1985
Alexandria Caroline "Ally" Hilfiger (born February 26, 1985, New York City) is
an American heiress, socialite, model, artist, film and television producer and
former reality show star.
Hilfiger is the daughter of Tommy Hilfiger. She split her childhood between
Greenwich, Connecticut, where she attended Convent of the Sacred Heart (although
she spent one year attending The Eagle Hill School), and Manhattan, where she
attended the Professional Children's School. Hilfiger disliked the school
because, unlike her "single-minded" peers, she excelled in more than one
creative area.
At age thirteen, she performed on Broadway in Abby's Song. At age seventeen, she
produced the World War II film, Proud.
In 2003, she starred with then-best friend Jaime Gleicher in MTV's reality show
Rich Girls, which the two co-produced. Despite being named as the "precursor" to
popular reality series such as The Simple Life and, in turn, Laguna Beach and
The Hills, and being a ratings hit itself, the show only aired for one season.
The series was perhaps shortened because of Hilfiger's reluctance to film
another series, as it made her feel isolated and "really really alone". It
appears she continued to film because she didn't want to disappoint her less-famous
co-star Jaime Gleicher.
In the aftermath of the show, Hilfiger went to rehab[3] and she and Gleicher are
no longer friends. Hilfiger has said since making the show that "If
anyone asks me to drop my name to get them in someplace — no. I still work on
picking those people out of my life."
She is currently attending the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City
and running her own vintage-accessories business, according to a 2006 British
Vogue article on fashion designers' children.
Ally has been helping her father design clothes from a young age, at one
point designing clothes for his H by Hilfiger brand. Her father also gave her
the opportunity to help design a Hilfiger store in Westchester, New York.
A film of Hilfiger's recent art was exhibited in the Chelsea Art Museum in
January 2008, a project she has been working on with her painting partner Izzie
Gold. Hilfiger is fiercely proud of this achievement, and stated that "it's
really representative of our generation right now ... Basically the new
generation of creative people, you're multitalented, and you use your talents
and creativity in every aspect."
