#8: The Fieldswell Podcast with Lauren Fields. In this episode, Lauren interviews Alejandra Boggiano. Alejandra Boggiano, founder of the ethically produced swimwear line SOLKISSED, has carved a unique path from her beginnings in South America to becoming a notable figure in fashion and philanthropy. Educated in sunny San Diego, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in communications, Alejandra initially ventured into local TV before her passion for fashion led her to New York City and the Fashion Institute of Technology. During her time there, she engaged deeply in communications and public relations, collaborating on major marketing and charity campaigns with organizations such as Samuel Adams’ “Brewing the American Dream,” Accion microfinance, and The Tory Burch Foundation. These experiences provided her with valuable insights into nonprofits, marketing, and fundraising, which would later influence her entrepreneurial ventures. Launching SOLKISSED in 2012, Alejandra blended her Peruvian roots with California's iconic style, and the brand quickly gained a global presence. As the Instagram influencer boom took off, she leveraged her expertise to guide industry peers, eventually establishing "Solcial Media," an agency that enhances influencer and brand collaborations. In 2018, a serendipitous meeting with actress Jen Lilley led to the creation of "Christmas Is Not Cancelled, Inc.," a venture that combines interactive experiences with fundraising to support at-risk and foster children during the pandemic. Now based back in San Diego, Alejandra balances her passion for design at Solkissed with her love for fitness, languages, and travel, continuing to champion her cause of saving the world—one Christmas at a time.
