Parker Kit Hill

Född 17 dec. 1995 · Forth Worth, TX

Growing up in rural Texas, Parker Kit Hill always had his eyes set on the Big Apple. At 17, Hill relocated to the bustling city to pursue dance. “I remember on the plane ride to New York, right when the plane took off from Texas, I was just like, ‘I’m done. I’m never looking back. My life has officially started,’” Hill recounts of his New York-bound journey to attend the prestigious Joffrey Ballet School. While attending university and managing city life on a tight budget, Hill amassed an impressive following on the now defunct social media platform Vine — thanks to his hilariously viral content, of course. Since, Hill has worn many hats as he navigates the ins and outs of the city — acting, modeling, social media, and more. Not only serving looks for millions of followers, Hill has walked the runway for brands like Sandy Liang, Calvin Klein, Christopher John Rogers, and Valentino. Having spent his early days in Manhattan’s Seaport District, the multi-hyphenate has relocated to Brooklyn, where he continues his dominance on TikTok and Instagram, all the while making moves for the future. Surrounded by fashion, creativity, and an overwhelming sense of self expression, Hill’s love for New York City is stronger than ever. “New York represent[s] freedom, wholesomeness, and that there’s more out there,” Hill says. “There’s a world beyond your hometown. There’s this amazing city sitting right [here]. You just have to get on a plane.”
