Cheslie Kryst has been a prominent figure in the US fashion industry for decades.
Cheslie Kryst is a fashion designer and model who has been at the forefront of the US fashion industry for decades. She was born in New York City in 1968, but spent most of her childhood growing up in Paris. Her father was an American businessman and her mother was a French actress, which meant that Cheslie grew up around some of the most influential people in both France and America. Cheslie’s family moved back to New York when she was 18 years old, where she enrolled at the Parsons School of Design. After graduating from Parsons, Cheslie went on to become one of the most influential designers in America.
Cheslie first rose to prominence as a model for Victoria’s Secret, appearing on their runway show three times between 1991 and 1995. She also worked as a spokesperson for brands such as Calvin Klein, Revlon and Christian Dior throughout her career. It wasn’t until 1999 that Cheslie decided to focus on designing clothes full-time after she realised that modelling would not be able to sustain her financially.
