Hilary Dick
Founding Fashion Editor
A native New Yorker, Hilary Dick grew up surrounded by the fast paced fashionable influences of the city. She studied and lived in Paris breathing in the styles of French women. With a brief stop in San Francisco, Hilary returned to New York to become a television producer. A mother of two teenage daughters, Hilary’s style varies from casual by day and glamorous by night. She loves to mix high end with low end and enjoys the trendy but tends towards the classic. And high heels are a must. She attributes her sense of style to her Grandmother, Bunny du Pont.

Simone Mailman
Sports Editor
Simone Mailman, the avid huntress, stalks the stores and sites for our Shooting and Fishing sections. Simone loves the adventure and natural splendor of being outdoors. Whether trailing the flats for bonefish in West Andros, bow hunting for whitetail deer, taking aim at partridge over her trained pointer, or raising her two fearless boys! She believes that a sportswoman should always be, shall we say, dressed to kill. At What2WearWhere, Simone will help you hunt down everything you need to look and perform your best no matter which game you’re after.
Anisha Lakhani
Digital Style Editor
Schooled author, screenwriter, and fashion journalist, Anisha readily admits her first love will always be for the written word. Her writings have appeared in Vogue, Teen Vogue, Conde Nast Traveller, Quest and Q magazines, The Huffington Post, and beyond, and for her the cyber realm was a natural segue as she deems it another language. Anisha lives on the Upper East Side with her beloved shitzus Harold Moscowitz and Luigi Maestro and can just as easily get lost in a blog as she can a big, juicy novel. A Columbia University graduate and former English Chair of The Dalton Middle School, Anisha is convinced that the heart of conquering digital stems from a true love of learning as the space virtually breathes invention.
