Early life

Chriselle Lim was born in Texas and spent four years in Seoul, where she was enrolled in a foreign school.[8][9] Lim stated an early role model of hers was Victoria Beckham.[10]

Lim attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising from 2004 to 2008, following in her mother's footsteps, who also studied fashion.[11] At the time, Lim intended to be more on the business end of fashion, such as a fashion buyer, instead of being on the creative side.[12]

Career

She was a stylist and the fashion editor for a local luxury magazine in Beverly Hills before she began blogging.[13]

Lim started her YouTube channel in 2008 after Michelle Phan, an American YouTube personality, introduced her to the digital world.[14]

Lim became a style director for GENLUX in 2011 and is currently the magazine's editor-in-chief.[11][15] She founded her main website in 2011 as well.

In 2016, Lim appeared in the centennial ad campaign for Keds.[16] The same year, she was part of a panel interviewing Hillary Clinton on Lifetime's show The Conversation.[17]

The Chriselle Factor

The Chriselle Factor started in 2011 as a passion project to chronicle Lim's latest jobs and projects.[18] After getting a lot of attention on her YouTube channel, Lim turned to the blog for viewer-requested outfit posts.[19] It has since evolved into a fashion, beauty and lifestyle content network. In an interview with AOL, Lim said the brand was built on the word chic, as is her style.[10]

The website is run by a team of 10 members, known as the Cinc Team - Founder and Creative Director is Chriselle Lim herself; Lauren Fong is the president; Laura Arias is the Director of Operations; Idalia Salsamendi is the Director of Business; Jane Park is the editorial director; Hannah Nuñez is a junior editor; Candice Kao on the video team; Timmy Ngo as the videographer; Karla Ticas as creative director; and Drew Scott as the photographer.[20] In 2016, The Chriselle Factor won Bloglovin's Blogger of the Year award.[21]

Arias was the first member of Lim's team and has been with her since 2008. She started as her stylist assistant and has since held different positions for the company.[14]

Personal life

Lim married Allen Chen on August 8, 2012.[22] They met in 2008 through mutual friends. In 2021, they decided to separate.[23] Lim and Chen have two daughters.[1]

Lim has stated that she edits photos with VSCO and considers Snapchat her "favorite platform".[14][24][25]

Her favorite fashion designers are Raf Simons and Marc Jacobs.[13]
