Kristen's Bio:
Kristen Allen is the Founder and President of Exclusively Kristen, a Brooklyn based e-commerce business specializing in clothes and accessories for large busted women. Kristen started the company because she knew firsthand that there was a large, underserved market of women who wanted flattering, properly fitted, and professional attire. So she set to work designing, manufacturing, and sourcing key pieces specifically for women with large bosoms -- and Exclusively Kristen was born.
Kristen's entrepreneurial pursuits began as a preteen when she started selling handmade jewelry in her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. A few years later, she put her plans to start a small business on hold in order to focus on her education. She graduated from high school with honors and then attended Oberlin College. During her college career, she was awarded summer fellowships in the field of the biological sciences and in 2004, she graduated with a B.A. in biology. She then focused on a career in physical science as a lab technician and research assistant before deciding to go back to school in order to obtain a graduate degree in anthropology. As a graduate student at Temple University, she was awarded fellowships in order to do research during the summer at private hospitals in Central and South America. She was also a teaching assistant for introductory anthropology courses, which laid the foundation for her subsequent career in higher education. After a few years in higher education administration, Kristen decided that the time was right to launch her dream business: a fashion-focused company providing stylish solutions for large-breasted women.

What's Your Lingerie Style?
It’s easy to assume that lingerie is ‘one type of look’ when you’ve been fed a certain ideal of it for decades through advertisement, catalogs, and TV!
Trust us, when we first told our family & friends we were creating a lingerie company, we got some awkward looks and questions. When most people think of lingerie, they envision that classic image of lingerie that hasn’t shifted since the 90’s...a push-up bra, bright lacy (scratchy looking) material, weird clips and straps (literally every woman we talked to before launching Burgundy Fox spoke in utter detest about garters), nude stockings (who even owns nylons anymore?!) and some curious form of underwear we would NEVER wear under a pair of jeans.
Hey, it’s all good if you like these things. The fact lingerie hadn’t changed for so long and we knew of a totally different experience IRL, caused us to want to create a ‘new’ lingerie experience, one that was more modern and realistic. The single biggest misconception about lingerie is that it’s not for everyone. Take that how you want to. We know that lingerie is for everyone. No matter your size, ability, age, whether you like ‘girly things’ or not, whether you are single & dating or a mom of 3, there is something that makes you feel good, something you can put on to recharge. For now we’re focusing on women and women identified, but who knows what the future will hold. Everyone deserves to feel good in their own skin and have garments that support that (literally).
So, with that in mind, we’ve created our first Lingerie Personality Quiz that has none of the decades old notions of lingerie that you’d expect. So kick back, have fun, take the 5 question quiz and find out what lingerie fits your personality (not the other way around).

The Fearless Fox Box: Giving Back to Women & Girls
At Burgundy Fox, our mission is to support, encourage and celebrate women of all sizes. As two female founders, we know that positive or negative self-esteem starts at adolescence. We both recall the first experiences when we felt embarassed of our bodies for being too fat and too dark, as early as 10. The onslaught of content and ads bombarded us as young girls and continues to influence young girls still. We've made it our job to ensure we are a brand that encourages inclusivity, to be the brand that positively influences the confidence of women and girls. Besides our content, it is important for us to give back and actively support women and girls in need of support (no pun intended). This is how the Fearless Fox box, was born.
For every box purchased, we donate a Fearless Fox box to non-profit organizations that benefit women, teenage and pre-teen girls in need. A Fearless Fox box contains a confidence-boosting note from us, the Burgundy Fox founders, and a brand new bralette or pair of underwear by one of our brand partners. Every underwear subscription or gift donates an underwear, and every lingerie subscription or gift donates a bralette, all sweetly packaged in a Fearless Fox box.
We are so thrilled about this new program and can’t wait to share the special experience you have from your box, with other women and girls who need it, too. THANK YOU for making this dream possible.

Pin-up for a queen
Boudoir
Submission | Inspired Eye Photography
Here is what Inspired Eye Photography had to
say about this session:
"VR reached out regarding a boudoir session asking if I would be willing to shoot her because she wasn't the 'typical' body type. I will never forget how she described herself and her style, because it made me want to rock her session and show her how amazing she was. Mixed race, tattoos, plus size, young mom of 3, typically wearing sweats with baby vomit... YES!!! Get your ass in here. You NEED this!!
Talk about a transformation. Mama got her sexy back!"
