Kristina O’Neill grew up in Northern Virginia and went to NYU’s Gallatin School where she studied English and journalism. She joined the Bazaar team in 2000 as a fashion writer, and is currently the Executive Editor. She also oversees Bazaar’s directional but accessible fashion coverage, which is so popular that Bazaar has spun it off into the annual Runway Report magazine, of which O’Neill is the editor in chief. Before Bazaar, O’Neill worked at Time Out and New York Magazine.

She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Stella.
