We recently connected with Chyna Krystelle and have shared our conversation below.
Chyna, appreciate you making time for us and sharing your wisdom with the community. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others overcame obstacles can be helpful. One of those struggles is keeping creativity alive despite all the stresses, challenges and problems we might be dealing with. How do you keep your creativity alive?
I keep my creativity alive by finding art in everything around me. I draw inspiration from nature, cartoons, friends & family, amongst other things
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I grew up being known as a Pastor’s kid. I got tired of being known for just that. People would know me in a distance because of how I dressed and it always got back to my dad. I’ve always dressed weirdly ever since high school. When I got to college, I started expressing myself more. Fashion has always been an outlet for me. It makes me feel like I can be whoever, whenever I wanted to. People would compliment me about how I dress and told me I should start modeling. That’s where the model in me was born. I’ve always been shy but it’s my way of stepping outta my comfort zone. And this was the birth of “YourFavNoLabel.” (2007) Because I was tied of being labeled as a PK or Weird or whatever, so I just didn’t want to be labeled anymore. There’s so much more to me than anyone could ever fathom and I way more than I could ever be labeled. Don’t put in a box. I never knew how much of an Inspiration I am and could be to people. How much I made them feel comfortable just by showing my true unfiltered self. I wanted to make others feel the way I felt about myself, The wardrobe stylist and fashion consultant was given life. Ever since then, I’ve branded myself to help others realize their potential in life and to show them that there are no boundaries or limits to what you can achieve.
I was born and raised in Charleston, SC. I’m a United States Air Force Veteran.
I am a Model, Wardrobe/Fashion Stylist and Consultant, Brand Ambassador, Artist Manager,Actress, Owner & CEO of Fresh Vintage Apparel and Customs, a Photographer/Videographer, Creative Director, Radio Personality, and Host. I also play the Piano and Drums.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that I’ve learned is to learn how to take constructive criticism, there will be days when you don’t feel creative but you have to push thru, and lastly your biggest supporters will be people you’ve never met.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am always looking to collaborate with others. I like the type of people who like to color outside the lines, if you know what i mean. I’m looking for models, artists, photographers, clothing brands etc…
