Kristine Deer grew up as the youngest of three girls in the suburbs of New Jersey in a home with artistic and creative parents, and an “art room” in lieu of a dining room. Her love for fashion and hot yoga started her on the journey to create apparel that was both functional and expressive, initially for herself, and ultimately transforming into a business, K-DEER, known for their iconic bright and colorful striped leggings. Little did Kristine know the community that would grow around K-DEER and the impact that they would have collectively. This story is a bit different than many of the others on our show, and it’s a really special one for which we are enormously grateful to Kristine for sharing with us.
