Kathy Hilton on her trademark pleated hats and Bloomingdale’s memories

Kathy Hilton, from matriarch to mogul and a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, has added another line to her résumé through a collaboration with Australian creative director Lorna Murray; Murray’s signature sun hats have debuted at Bloomingdale’s. 'I started wearing them on the show, and it was kind of like my little trademark,' Hilton said.

She first found the designs on Instagram and messaged Murray directly — the designer initially thought it must be spam. The partnership now includes a fourth joint collection and an appearance at the California Love Party at Bloomingdale’s Century City on Saturday, March 21.

Hilton recalls getting her first credit card at the store when she and her husband lived in New York City, waiting for big sales to buy pots and pans and always admiring the store’s lingerie.
