Kristian Lopez Bio


Kristian Lorén Lopez was born and raised in Philadelphia where, at an early age, she developed her creative passion for fashion.

Lopez styled dynamic looks for her sister, Sessilee, out of tablecloths and curtains and sent her to walk the ‘runway’ for their mom. Years later, the Lopez sisters would support and inspire each other, Sessilee a top model, and Lopez a designer.

Lopez has over 14 years of experience in the Fashion industry, the majority of which has been spent guiding the careers of some of Fashion’s top models. She has worked as a senior model agent at Major Models, Wilhelmina Models, and now Muse Model Management.

Each day, she provides international fashion companies with beautiful models to portray in campaigns, e-commerce shoots, or fashion shows. Her models have been featured in top fashion magazines and campaigns, such as VOGUE, ITALIAN VOGUE, HARPER BAZAAR, V MAGAZINE, NUMERO, FRENCH MAGAZINE, ELLE, GAP, PRADA, COVER GIRL, and many more.

Threading together all parts of the fashion ethos, Lopez started her fashion line. In 2018, Lopez was named one of Essence Magazine’s ‘Designers to Watch,’ and her ready-to-wear collection was featured in Essence’s Fashion House 2019. The Kristian Lorén Collection has been seen in Bloomingdales and has collaborated with companies like Janie And Jack and American Girl.
