Background and Education

Born in Germany, Hill comes from a background of tailors of Czech origin on her mother's side. [24] In 1993, she moved to New York to study contemporary dance. [6] [2] Shortly after, she enrolled at FIT and Parsons. [1] [2] At the same time, she began to work as a costume designer [25] and was admitted to the United Scenic Artists in 1997. She returned to Europe in 2008 and now lives in Berlin, [26] where she is an active member of the performing arts scene [27] [17] [18] [28] [29] [30] and continues to work with textiles as a costume and stage designer. [31] [32] [33] [34] [35]

Fashion (1998–2011)

In 1998, she founded two fashion labels, the eponymous Claudia Hill and The Number After 10, [36] which were presented and sold in Japan, the US and Europe, at her own store, [37] in high-end boutiques, such as Barneys New York or Fred Segal [38] [39] and later exclusively at private salons in limited editions. [26] [36] Her New York Fashion Week shows were deemed unconventional and took the form of performances or installations, [40] often in collaboration with other artists, such as Asymptote Architecture [22] or Skúli Sverrisson.

Collaborations

As her designs expanded beyond the boundaries of the fashion industry, she created the costumes for William Forsythe's Decreation in 2003 [6] [41] and for The Wooster Group's production of Hamlet in 2007. [42] [43] She became a frequent collaborator of choreographer Meg Stuart, creating costumes for Sketches/Notebook [5] [44] and Hunter, [45] the two productions that won Stuart the choreographer of the year award from Tanz.
