Globetrotter. Trendsetter. Hillary Bowles is a high-flying fashion adventurer. Her love of style began long before her days as an influencer, nurtured during her fashion studies in college and honed during her four years at Ralph Lauren in NYC. Now her passport is filled with stamps, and her closet is full of distinctive pieces that have been collected from and worn around the world.
For Hillary, fashion is a form of self-expression. “No two people have the same style.” Over the years, she’s had fun experimenting with denim trends, from skinny jeans to bedazzled flares. These days, she finds comfort and style in mid or low-rise wide leg jeans, and she has a soft spot for barrel jeans.
There’s denim for every occasion.
Hillary finds inspiration in the digital world of social media and the real-world experiences of her travels. She’s always seeking new trends, exploring different cultures, and discovering unique ways to express her personal style. For Hillary, authenticity means staying true to her values and passions, regardless of outside noise.
Whether it’s a denim dress for a Morgan Wallen concert or a trusty pair of jeans for an intercontinental trip, denim is there for her. While she may prefer the comfort of athleisure for long flights, denim is a must-have in her travel wardrobe. Its adaptability allows her to create multiple outfits without sacrificing style.
She holds onto cherished pieces, like the first pair of Ralph Lauren jeans she purchased when she started her career, even if they’re no longer trendy. These jeans, along with the bedazzled pair she begged her mom for in high school, are more than just clothing – they’re woven into the fabric of her memories.
Hillary understands the importance of caring for her denim, washing it infrequently to extend its lifespan. As she’s grown, so has her appreciation for sustainability and quality. She now seeks out ethically made garments that will stand the test of time.
Recycling is so simple, and it feels great.
Although Hillary is accustomed to giving clothes to her friends, she’s looking forward to recycling denim through the Blue Jeans Go Green program. She sees recycling as a simple yet impactful way to contribute to a more sustainable future.
The joy of a fresh fit is undeniable for Hillary, and she’s especially excited about adding a new look from Anthropologie to her collection. “Getting a new outfit is one of my favorite things ever.” Partnering with the brand, known for its bohemian-chic aesthetic, feels like a natural fit for her eclectic style.
Hillary believes that everyone can embrace denim recycling and that there’s no reason not to. “It’s a good deed that anyone can do.” By sharing her own denim journey and advocating for the Blue Jeans Go Green program, she hopes to inspire others to give their old denim a new life.
