BABES IN HART: Lilly Sisto
Drink in some major style inspiration from Lilly Sisto, our newest Babe in HART. Hart first met Lilly at LoveShackFancy’s beautiful Zero George dinner party to celebrate their King Street store opening last spring. By day, Lilly is the cult-fave brand's head Associate Director of VIP Relations, Press & Partnerships. By night, she’s the coolest girl on TikTok with truly original outfits that channel the high-low, vintage-meets-designer mishmash of Carrie Bradshaw. You won’t catch Lilly in a long floral block print dress and Golden goose Sneakers.
Lilly declared that her HART custom is "The coolest, most special gift anyone has ever given me." And she hasn't taken it off since.
Read on for her interview. Lilly believes taking risks and listening to her gut is what got her to where she is today, “I learned to stop caring what other people think. I do what makes me happy and that’s all that matters”.
Lilly tells us the creative freedom is her favorite part of work. Dive in to learn more about what keeps Lilly motivated, how she builds herself back up in moments of self-doubt, and some of her favorite must haves.
What’s the best piece of [business / creative/ personal] advice you’ve been given?
To take risks and listen to your gut- if I made decisions based on worry and safeness I don't think I would be anywhere- I also learned to stop caring what other people think. I do what makes me happy and that's all that matters.
In moments of self-doubt, how do you build yourself back up?
I call my mom or sisters- they always know how to make me feel better and give the best pep talks.
What’s your favorite part about your work? What motivates you?
I absolutely love the creative freedom to come up with outfits and find things that bring me joy and make me excited to wear them and share them with everyone.
What quotation/motto inspires you to be your best self?
My grandfather always said “Treat everyone as a friend and they will become one” I love this so much and no matter who I see on the street I always smile at everyone and treat everybody the way I would want to be treated and trust me- smiling can turn your day around.
