What fashion accessory could be more French than a scarf? French women have mastered the art of wearing a scarf with that je ne sais pas quoi. “When in Paris, my eye is often drawn to the elegant way a scarf defines a person’s sense of self and style,” shares Paula Hian.

The vibrant colors and geometric designs in this new and exclusive collection of scarves are the perfect complement to our timeless French knits the stylish woman wears with confidence and flair.

On Saturday September 22, 2018, the Paula Hian boutique was aglow with bright pink balloons, banners, and impeccably dressed women socializing and shopping.

Paula Hian is a unique and bold standout in the luxury designer section of the King of Prussia Mall.
Aside from her visionary designs, Paula Hian is a philanthropic soul who generously gives back to the community, which includes being a long time partner with Susan G. Komen – Philadelphia, a non-profit organization devoted to fighting breast cancer.
Komen’s renowned board members were circulating the fundraiser, spreading awareness about the importance of early detection and research funding. Among them were Natasha Brown, reporter for CBS/The CW Philly and a member of the Komen Philadelphia family, and experts Dr. Monique Gary, DO, FACS from Grand View Health and Dr. Jamie Wells, MD, FAAP from the American Council on Science and Health.

Paula Hian, who believes “giving back is always in style,” will host more charitable events to support the causes important to her bespoke clientele. Meanwhile, Paula continues to travel in search of inspiration for her next collection of innovative designs to be knitted to perfection.

Fall 2018 must-have wardrobe essentials curated by internationally acclaimed luxury knitwear designer, Paula Hian, creating European fashions that last a lifetime.
1) The Jacket – This season Hian weaves geometric detailing into her feminine cinched peplum blazers and floor-length fitted toppers. These exclusive designs combine regal colors, specially dyed Italian yarns and diamond-on-diamond patterns meticulously crafted. Another bold element is Hian’s use of wide stripes in woven raffia that draws the eye to the waistline for an edgier look to the standard woman’s jacket.
2) The Basics – Bring new life to your everyday skirt or pant with suiting staples in fine Milano knit that flatter and fit to perfection. Subtle shimmer and a simple back silver zipper are modern updates to this season’s Celeste high waist pencil skirt (above) or our elegant, straight leg Lorraine pull on pant (below).
3) The Dress – Invest in a dress that flatters and transitions seamlessly whether attending a cocktail party or formal affair. Our Blanche black striped raffia dress with long sleeves (below) available in classic black, shamrock green, pinot noir or harvest gold is the perfect design for every special occasion.
4) The Top – Find the perfect top that works with every style from weekend casual to workplace appropriate. Whether simple and fitted like the Astrid cropped ¾ length sleeve turtleneck (above) in black or our more feminine Pierretta metallic pleated point top with high neck (below) in pine green or plum, our Fall collection offers an ideal knit underpinning or statement piece that pairs beautifully with denim jeans to classic suiting.
