Fashion writer, author, company cofounder, entrepreneur and chief ideation officer Hillary Kerr can do it all. Whether it’s writing cover stories or developing a new product line, the Clique Media Group Chief Ideation Officer and cofounder of many of its offshoots — including the immensely popular Who What Wear, MyDomaine and Byrdie — is always moving

At just 27 years old, Hillary Kerr co-founded Who, What, Where, an online retailer that specializes in trendy clothing for women. She also co-founded the Clique Media Group with Katherine Power. As a former editor for Elle Magazine, Hillary is an expert in the fashion industry. Prior to working as both a writer and an editor for Elle, she has also written for Nylon and Teen Vogue Magazines. Along with Katherine, Hillary co-wrote three books.

I really love a flat white. I lived in Sydney for six months after graduating from college and really started my career there, interning for Marie Claire. One of the wonderful things about being based in Sydney for six months was that they have an incredible coffee culture, so I fell in love with flat whites. I have changed my order as time has gone on to a flat white made with almond milk, which makes me feel like a very L.A. human, but that is my go-to.

Having attended the University of Southern California (USC,) and New York University (NYU), Hillary earned a B.A. and M.A. respectively. Between finishing at USC and starting at NYU, she took part in a study abroad program in Sydney, Australia. Before Hillary could begin the program she had to secure an internship and talked her way into one at the Australian version of Marie Claire Magazine. Upon graduating from NYU she went on to intern at In Style, Harper’s Bazaar and Sand Diego Magazines as well.

 

Her passion for clothing dates back to her teenage years when she worked at The Gap while still in high school. She credits moving on from Elle Magazine with giving her the creative outlet she needed to eventually launch Who, What, Where. It was while working at Elle Magazine that she met Katherine Power, who was judging the season of Project Runway Hillary was writing about.

In February 2017, Hillary married her fiancé in Palm Springs, California. She shared photos of the wedding on MyDomaine, one of the websites she and Katherine run through the Clique Media Group. The photos of her wedding include her bouquet, the escort cards and even the invitation the couple sent out. Hillary confessed that the couple originally chose not to have a wedding cake, but changed their minds at the last minute. This sudden decision resulted in their cake lacking the frosting that Hillary had chosen for it.

I also love Here’s The Thing with Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin is one of my favorite actors of all time. I think he has possibly the greatest voice that has ever been created, and I really get such a kick out of hearing him talk to other people. There’s an episode that came out a while ago — but it’s evergreen, because it’s fabulous — and it’s with him and Lorne Michaels, from Saturday Night Live, and they obviously know each other very well. If I am having a bad day and I have a long drive ahead of me I will often queue that one up just because even though I’ve heard it a number of times, it still makes me smile.
