Paula Hian Featured in Philadelphia Magazine: A Spotlight on Local Luxury

We’re thrilled to share that Paula Hian has been featured in the March 2025 edition of Philadelphia Magazine, a proud moment for the Paula Hian brand and an even prouder one for Philadelphia fashion.

The article, titled “Knit Pick” highlights Paula's journey as an artist, her inspiration, and her growing impact—both locally and internationally. From her signature luxury knitwear to her unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, the piece captures what makes the Paula Hian brand so distinctive.

The Paula Hian showroom, located in King of Prussia, serves as the heart of the brand—where every piece is imagined and designed. The article explores how Paula not only creates her iconic styles but also designs the fabrics in collaboration with skilled artisans in France and Italy.

In her interview, Paula shares how art, architecture, and even dreams fuel her creative process in making these one-of-a-kind designs. “I often get design ideas when I’m waking up or going to sleep,” she says in the article. “I can see many of the designs and all the details, down to the fabric.”

Sustainability is also front and center. The article emphasizes Paula’s no-waste philosophy, noting that every inch of yarn is used, and that many customers return year after year wearing pieces from past collections—proof of each looks quality and timeless style.

Philadelphia Magazine also touches on the future for Paula: including the success of Paula Hian’s recent pop-up at King of Prussia Mall and her goal of expanding the Paula Hian brand’s visibility with new storefronts. And while her pieces are produced in Europe, Paula makes it clear: “Philadelphia is home."

Finally, the article celebrates the women who wear Paula’s designs—visionaries, leaders, and creatives who value originality and refinement. From First Lady Jill Biden, known for her support of American designers and love for meaningful fashion, to Lisa Ann Walter, the star of ABC’s Abbott Elementary, who embodies bold, authentic style on and off screen, the Paula Hian brand continues to resonate with women who inspire.

We’re honored to be recognized by one of Philly’s most trusted lifestyle outlets, and grateful to continue representing our city with pride, innovation, and timeless elegance.
