Bio

Born in Los Angeles, but a Bay Area native for nearly 20 years, Chrissy Bryant writes fashion columns for several online sites and loves researching, writing and wearing the trends, the vintage classics and her own personal styles.

Her current obsession is discovering vintage clothing shops that are often hidden on obscure streets in the San Francisco Bay Area, filled with enough haute couture to satisfy any fashionista’s deepest fantasy.

Chrissy holds a degree in magazine journalism, and is now pursuing her master’s degree in mass communications management at San Jose State University.  The focus of her graduate project is a study of the origin of trends in fashion and the impact that celebrities, designers and marketing strategies have on fashion trends within society.
