Christina Paik

Photographer, artist, stylist, consultant, influencer and so on, there isn’t one defining word to describe the range of Christina and her work. Having grown up competitively figure skating, Christina’s Olympic dreams were cut short after an injury and she curbed her interests towards fine art. She credits much of her artistic influence and style to her brother who handed her first camera, a Canon AE-1 owned previously by her grandmother. After majoring in photography at The New School for Design in New York, Christina later transferred to its Paris location only to drop out with a semester remaining. She then decided to relocate there and it was in Paris where she built her massive network. She worked with talent agents to shoot, creative direct and style models all under her vision and aesthetic. Fusing streetwear and high fashion, Christina became known for her edgy style mixed with her authentically honest photography. Soon, she became inundated into the fashion world, working with brands like Off-White™ , Yohji Yamamoto, COMME des GARÇONS, shooting backstage at runway shows and sitting up front at Dior and much more. Despite Christina’s impressive body of work, she admits she’s still hesitant about being in the spotlight and showcasing her photography on social media. It wasn’t until a couple years ago, she had maintained her anonymity.
