Zac Zimmerman and Christina Nielsen

Christina Nielsen

School: New York University

Favorite outside of school activity:
I love to travel (especially abroad) and I hope to live in Paris next year through NYU to improve my French. Also like to go to art galleries (specifically contemporary art and photography), play tennis, spend time with friends/boyfriend, flip through design and fashion magazines for inspiration and definitely going out in New York and having fun! Zac and I are currently in the process of developing our Vanity website and the link is www.vanitybychristinaandzac.com — we have some temporary images up of a few samples, but more will be coming in January 2011.

Favorite song:
I like listening to a lot of European techno, rock and pop music. My favorite song to dance to when I go out with friends is definitely “Stereo Love” by Edward Maya, but I also listen to John Mayer and Van Morrison often.

What will you be doing in 20 years?
In my perfect world, I will be married with a family of my own, but will still most certainly be a career girl. Although family is one of the most important things to me, I believe it is crucial for women especially to assert their independence outside of family life through their careers. Staying involved with either Vanity or another artistic path not just in my youth but also adulthood is one of my own keys to happiness. As my Dad has told me time and time again, “if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life” and that is definitely a statement that applies to Vanity. I hope to have developed a successful business by then whether it is through Vanity or another design influenced field either in New York or possibly overseas, preferably London.

Georgina Hickey

School: Greenwich Academy

Favorite outside of school activity:
Being active, and spending time with my friends and family.

Community service projects:
I enjoy helping anywhere possible, as I love to take part in community service. Some of my favorite types of community service has been working at Neighbor to Neighbor, a food and clothing bank for people who are in need, reading to little kids, and helping out at the Boys and Girls club.

Favorite song:
I enjoy upbeat songs because they are fun to listen to, and can inspire me! One of my favorite songs is Yeah 3x by Chris Brown. I also enjoy many of Katy Perry's music because she is my favorite artist!

What will you be doing in 20 years?
In 20 years I hope to be pursuing the occupation of my choice, either a professional model, or at least something that will make me happy, so that I can work with passion.
