Kristin Juszczyk Addresses Fox News Coverage of Kamala Harris Jacket Order

Kristin Juszczyk Addressing Misleading Media Coverage

On Thursday morning, designer Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, responded to a misleading Fox News headline regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ request for one of her jackets. In an interview, Juszczyk explained that Harris, an avid 49ers fan, reached out for a jacket after the designs went viral during the 2024 postseason.

"During the Super Bowl, I got a text from my agent, and that’s when things were going crazy," Juszczyk shared. "He was like, ‘Hey, the vice president wants a jacket.’ I’m like, ‘What company?’ He’s like, ‘The country.’” Despite her rising star as an independent designer, demands exceeded her capacity, leading to Harris not receiving a jacket.

Juszczyk expressed disappointment with Fox’s headline suggesting she had 'shut down' Harris’ request, clarifying on Instagram that her production limitations were the reason. "This is a completely loaded headline... if you read the article, I say that I had no help last year, so I couldn’t fulfill any last-minute requests!" She encouraged readers to avoid drawing conclusions from sensational headlines.

Juszczyk's Response to Media Sensationalism

With over 1.1 million Instagram followers and a thriving business, Juszczyk's response to misleading coverage highlights the challenges faced by independent designers in the spotlight. "Please don’t just read headlines," she reiterated. "It’s hilarious how news outlets create a completely misleading headline to push their own agenda." Her story serves as a reminder of the responsibility media outlets have in accurately representing public figures.
