Now and then, when a work of fashion really good (in all somehow), it became one for the masses. Such is the case with Hill House Home’s Short nightgown. No doubt you’ve seen it, whether on your Instagram feed or IRL. Maybe you even own one or two (but honestly, maybe up to three). That’s the kind of power this dress — and every iteration after that — uses.
Since the ruffled, layered silhouette became synonymous with stylish comfort and a life spent (mostly) at home, Hill House Home, which also offers a wide range of home goods, has branched into swimwear and accessories, in addition to a wide range of clothing. Now it’s coming to your footwear collection with two new styles: heel, this is one of the top shoe styles shoe trends fall 2022, and a pair of sliding sandals. First, the launch also came with some shimmering jewels.
We chatted with Nell Diamond, founder and CEO of Hill House Home about the new shoe line, diving into jewelry, dressing for fun, and what’s next for the style empire. her growing life.
Your brand has become famous with Nap Dress, which revolutionized the idea of wearing pajamas as everyday wear and providing chic, stylish comfort, pre- and post-pandemic. How did the shoe and jewelry design ideas come about?
The launch of Hill House Home shoes and jewelry is truly a dream come true for me. Knowing me is knowing my love for shoes — platforms specifically. The Hill House team and I have always dreamed of creating the perfect platform and the perfect slide: shoes that are comfortable, of high quality, and that make the wearer feel special.
When I was 17, I gave a speech at my high school with my favorite shoe: the 4-inch high patent leather Mary-Jane heel in pink. I’m the student body president, and it’s an awards ceremony at the end of the school year. Another parent in the audience turned to my mother, midway through the speech, and asked, “How can you let such a bright girl wear those shoes?” as if there was a direct correlation between my intellect and my footwear.
The fact that my parents valued my bizarre fashion sense as a child had a huge impact on me. They let me wear what I wanted, despite other people’s predictions about my fashion choices. The shoes aren’t complicated for me – they’re pure joy and self-expression, one of the happiest parts of my day.

Tell me about the process of designing the styles. Why heel and slide flat sandals?
Like all things Hill House, our shoes are deceivingly realistic. On the surface they seem refined, but they are sturdy, comfortable, and can weather storms.
They are designed to be used, with textured, treated linen and heat-applied gems so they won’t yellow or fall off. Our shoes have been pressure tested at a facility that specializes in the production of construction boots. They come across with flying colors. I like to think of our pink furry pedestals glistening next to a pair of steel boots, awaiting inspection.
Launched with both heel and slide platforms that offer the best of both worlds — we’re all about options for what feels best to you.
What are the most important factors that come to mind when designing these two styles?
I am most proud of the incredible craftsmanship. When designing our shoes, we worked with a family-owned factory in Italy, treating the construction process as art. I wanted shoes that had all the bells and whistles (or in this case, feathers and rhinestones), but still fit to take to dinner. I feel like our factory partners really understand our vision and are expertly skilled in helping us bring it to life.

Both the platform and the slide are quite festive; What was behind the decision to create such impressive shoes for your first launch in this category?
They are definitely festive! Needless to say, I’ve loved shoes forever. Cheerful, glittery, happy shoes. Shoes that I can dance and walk on and sparkle when I walk. I never asked for a place to go or a perfect outfit for a cool shoe — I want our customers to find the same pleasure. [with] their Hill House shoes in everyday life that they will find for the most special occasion.
In addition, jewelry is certainly bold and whimsical. Can you share your inspiration for this particular jewelry collection?
When we ask ourselves what we lack most in our wardrobe, it is the eye-catching pieces of jewelry that add a little sparkle to our outfits. Our inspiration comes from the period jewelry in our own collection, which is both wearable and unique.
Choker ribbons are inspired by our design team’s love for vintage ribbons and their habit of tying them up like necklaces. It’s a simple yet distinctive add-on to a necklace layer or even on its own.
How do you see women incorporating these items into their wardrobe? What do you hope women will feel when they wear them?
I recommend [our customers] Wear these styles with anything [they] feel the best in! The shoes are sure to have a classic look, but if you’re into “more is more”, you can totally make a statement. The earrings are so fun and playful — I’ll definitely wear them Disco Earrings with our Pearl Halo Headband for some upcoming Zooms. The Party background in Blue Rhinestone also made his debut at an evening event with his girlfriend, in conjunction with Ophelia Dress!
I can only imagine that both launches are just the beginning. Can you share (or suggest!) What we can expect from your team next for each category?
This is just the beginning of many exciting activities to come for the rest of the year! Let’s just say that lovers of our signature holiday tartan pattern will be very happy.
