www.negociosnow.com 20 November 2019 Senior Fashion Designer Pink Chicken New York Age: 36 Bio: Field is a senior fashion designer in New York City who credits her Colombian herita- ge for helping her stay groun- ded through all of life's cha- llenges. At an early age, she connected with the Morris County Hispanic-American Chamber of Commerce and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and has always had a great love for the chamber and its mission. She graduated from the University of Scranton with a bachelor's degree in psychology and Spanish while pursuing her passion of competitive racing as captain of the cross-country team. She completed a master's degree at Columbia Univer - sity in counseling psychology and after graduation became a counselor to help children and their families. But her passion for de- sign was overpowering. As a result, she decided to switch careers and attended Parsons School for Design to become a fashion designer. She gained hands-on experience inter- ning with Tommy Hilfiger and Anna Sui, and is the senior designer for the children's clothing company Pink Chic- ken New York where she has worked for nine years. Her professional work in counseling and fashion de- sign, in addition to her edu- cational accomplishments, has afforded her a wide pers- pective on the impact fashion has on everyday life and self- worth. Christina believes fas- hion is a dedicated mode of expression that has the ability to elicit confidence and in- ner beauty. Her background in psychology and fashion has taken her vision to new depths. Her aesthetic is a so- phisticated mixture entwined with a playful twist. Her inspi- ration stems from earth-tone colors, vintage fabrics and bo- hemian silhouettes. Racing still continues to be the joy of Christina's life. She has completed eight ma- rathons. WORDS OF WISDOM: "F ashion has the unique ability to be both a vehicle of change and a creative archive. Having a global and historical perspective is essential in the international industry of fashion." Christina Field Big style for little ones
