Before joining The Online Guide to the Children's Marketplace in 2001, Tina Barry was a textile stylist traveling domestically and to Europe to research color and style trends. Her training led to the launch of blue-eyed susan, a collection of children's wear that sold in better boutiques throughout the U.S. and Japan. In 2001, Tina and James Girone developed a course at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City that helped children's design entrepreneurs develop collections. Tina's style and food writing also appears in Time Out New York, the New York Daily News, the New York Sun, Baby Couture and other publications.
