Director of Finance

Company Overview

After nearly 15 years in the fashion corporate world, Pink Chicken Founder and CEO, Stacey Fraser, decided to take a break and focus on her young daughter and new baby girl while living in NYC and spending summer weekends at the beach. During nap times, she would sew garments made of a multitude of patterns from bright block prints to 60’s florals. The spirit of sunny beach days and her love for vintage textiles came together to create easy and stylish pieces for the beach or dinner, for herself and her daughters.

Today, Pink Chicken is more than a clothing company. We are a joyful flock of happy and creative souls who believe in spreading sunshine, creating original prints and patterns that are designed to last, giving back, sustainability and providing the best customer service to our loyal and growing community.
