Early life

Chriselle Lim was born in Texas and spent four of her early years in Seoul where she was enrolled in a foreign school.[7][8] Lim stated an early role model of hers was Victoria Beckham.[9]

Lim attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising from 2004 to 2008, following her mother's footsteps who also studied fashion.[10] At that time, Lim intended to be more on the business side of fashion such as a fashion buyer, instead of being on the creative side.[11]

Career

She was a stylist and the fashion editor for a local luxury magazine in Beverly Hills before she began blogging.[12]

Lim started her YouTube channel in 2008 after Michelle Phan, an American YouTube personality, introduced her to the digital world.[13]

Lim became a style director for GENLUX in 2011 and is currently the magazine's editor-in-chief.[10][14] She founded her main website in 2011 as well.

In 2016, Lim appeared in the centennial ad campaign for Keds.[15] In the same year, she was part of a panel interviewing Hillary Clinton on Lifetime's show The Conversation.[16]

Lim has also created a large following on the app TikTok, where she is known by the nickname "Rich Mom."[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 personal style.[9]

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 as president, Laura Arias as the Director of Operations, Idalia Salsamendi as the Director of Business, Jane Park as editorial director, Hannah Nuñez as 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.[13]

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, Chloe and Colette, born in 2015 and 2018, respectively.[24]

Lim has stated that she edits photos with VSCO and considers Snapchat to be her "favorite platform".[13][25][26]

Her favorite fashion designers are Raf Simons and Marc Jacobs.[12]
