Kristina Grish '97

Kristina Grish '97
Fashion Editor
Sports Illustrated for Women
New York City, NY
Major: English/Communications & Women's Studies
Single

Kristina's first photo shoot as fashion editor is one she'll never forget. On the job for only two weeks she was flown to Los Angeles, then to Miami. Assigned with fitting 10 female and 15 male pro athletes in functional swimwear, she says of the experience, "I met really inspiring women and got to see the likes of Jason Sehorn, Eddie George and Shaquille O'Neale in their underwear. Not bad for a first gig!"

Kristina is responsible for putting out a five-to-seven-page section of fashion and gear coverage in each issue. She oversees all style-related copy and images in the book. She is also responsible for casting, styling, producing photo shoots and writing accompanying text for the section, as well as outfitting models and athletes for fitness stories or features.

Although she says there is a lot she loves about her job, what she likes best is "my ability to shape what people are wearing and have ownership of my department. The media is so pervasive. I love that I can help a small company grow simply by giving coverage to a product I believe in and am inspired by."
