Our story.
Olivia Hill is the founder and visionary behind Stratford Hill Showroom, a home for handpicked collections and a reliable resource for small businesses seeking to elevate their stores. Her experience in fashion began with her initial love for style and creativity, where she recognized the power of clothing to tell a story and leave a lasting impression. This passion carried her into a career rooted in the industry she adores.
After college, Olivia worked in a local North Carolina boutique, where she deepened her understanding of retail and cultivated her talent for curating pieces that resonate with people. Alongside her 15-year modeling career, she stepped into the wholesale world with the Chad McKinney Showroom, where she focused on building meaningful relationships with boutique owners and helping bring their visions to life.
The creation of Stratford Hill is a natural evolution of Olivia’s story. While working in the Chad McKinney Showroom, she learned the art of running a timeless, customer-focused business from Chad’s 46-year legacy. Olivia worked her way up to become Manager and eventually Partner. At the end of 2024, she took over the business and is thrilled about its future and continuing to deliver value to stores across the Southeast.
