She founded her eponymous fashion blog, "Kristin Prim" in 2009 at the age of 16.[1] Prim Magazine was founded by Prim in April 2008 at the age of 14, with the financial backing of her parents.[5] This qualified her as the youngest print publication editor worldwide.[6]

Prim has starred in Nike and Diesel campaigns with fellow "It Girl" and friend, Sky Ferreira.[7][6] Prim has also become the focus of photographs by fashion photographers among the likes of Yvan Rodic of Facehunter, Phil Oh of Street Peeper, Mark "The Cobra Snake" Hunter, and Patrick McMullan.[8][9]

In April 2008, Prim was first featured by Teen Vogue after being eyed by editor in chief Amy Astley, and print appearances soon followed. In December 2009 she appeared in French Glamour. Since then, she has been featured in Exit Magazine, ELLE Italia, ELLE Korea, The Daily Mail, The Times, The Guardian, Refinery29, Fashion TV, The Huffington Post, Time Out New York, Vogue Italia, Guest of a Guest, Volt Magazine, Fashion Indie, Folha de S. Paulo, Garage Magazine, Dolly Magazine, and international Vogues and ELLEs for her prominent personal style and work.[4][10]

She was recently named a "Vogueista" by Vogue Italia along with Tavi Gevinson.[11] In May 2011, Prim modeled in Bulgari's Save the Children campaign alongside Rumi Neely, which supported the fashion house's philanthropic efforts.[12] In mid-2012, Prim starred in Nicole Miller's Holiday 2012 campaign.[13]

Prim has become a front row fixture at New York Fashion Week, sitting at shows such as VPL, Nicole Miller, Rad Hourani, Cynthia Steffe, Charlotte Ronson, Moncler, Ohne Titel, Custo Barcelona, Betsey Johnson, Bill Blass, and The Blonds.[4][5][8]

Prim Magazine has collaborated with designers among the likes of Jeremy Scott, Vena Cava, A.F. Vandevorst, Rad Hourani, and Ohne Titel.[5][14] Its latest edition, N°11, stars top model Dioni Tabbers on the cover photographed by the London photographer, Masayuki Ichinose.

In mid-2013 Prim released a limited collective oeuvre of her fine artwork, varying from photography to paintings and typewritten works.[15] In a 2013 interview with Volt Magazine, Prim discussed the themes and inspirations behind her work, often involving androgyny, martyrdom, sexuality, gender, and the female form.[16]
