Kristin Juszczyk has quickly become a prominent figure in the fashion industry, so much so that her husband, San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, is now often recognized as the partner of a highly sought-after fashion designer. Kristin’s influence has grown exponentially, especially after last football season when her signature jackets were seen on the likes of Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes, and Taylor Lautner.
Even sports stars like Caitlin Clark and Klay Thompson have been spotted wearing her designs.
The success of her brand culminated in an exclusive apparel licensing deal with the NFL in January, a significant milestone that highlighted her rising status in the fashion world.
Recently, Kristin made headlines again by creating a custom outfit for social media sensation Livvy Dunne for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which went viral. This move demonstrated her ambition to expand beyond NFL-centric designs and cement her reputation as a versatile designer capable of catering to a broader audience.
However, with the rapid growth of her fashion brand has come increased scrutiny, something her husband, Kyle, who has dealt with the pressures of being an NFL star, can relate to. Kristin found herself in the media spotlight when Fox News Digital criticized her for allegedly “shutting down” a request to design a jacket for Vice President Kamala Harris, who is a well-known 49ers fan.
Unhappy with how the situation was portrayed, Kristin took to Instagram, where she has over 1.1 million followers, to set the record straight. She posted on her IG story, calling the headline “completely loaded” and explained the context that was missing from the article. “If you read the article, I say that I had no help last year, so I couldn’t fulfill any last-minute request!” she clarified, emphasizing that the decision wasn’t a deliberate snub but rather a logistical issue due to the demands on her time.

Kristin didn’t stop there. She urged her followers to “Please don’t just read headlines” and pointed out the way news outlets can twist narratives to fit their agendas. “It’s hilarious how news outlets create a completely misleading headline to push their own agenda,” she added, expressing her frustration with how the situation was handled by the media.
Despite this media controversy, Kristin’s fashion brand continues to soar in popularity. With the NFL season approaching, she hinted that she might now have a larger team to help manage her growing business, potentially enabling her to fulfill high-profile requests like Kamala Harris’s in the future. And, of course, she’ll be on the sidelines, supporting her husband as he takes the field once again.
Kristin’s journey from NFL wife to fashion mogul highlights her resilience and creativity, qualities that have helped her navigate both the highs and the challenges that come with growing a brand in the public eye. As she continues to expand her influence, it’s clear that her impact will be felt far beyond the world of sports fashion.
