“Working for ten years as a ready-to-wear designer gave me a deep understanding of textiles, which has been invaluable,” says Hillman. “I want my interiors to be subtle to the eye while being unexpected and beautiful.” So they are—of-the-moment yet suavely eclectic domestic habitats (Manhattan townhouses, a Hamptons getaway, an Aspen retreat) that have been influenced by everything from Donald Judd sculptures to the old-meets-new juxtapositions of Copenhagen’s streetscapes. “I am constantly looking at art and design,” she says, “from my daily walk to work to traveling to see art and architecture.” Next up? A first trip to India: “The sources of inspiration are endless.” ► New York; juliehillmanom
