The Hematology Collection is inspired by a blood disorder that Kris was diagnosed with as a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This genetic illness, Hereditary Elliptocytosis only affects 1 in every 3,000 to 5,000 people. Kris has had a lifetime of visits to the Hematologist watching the colors of blood flow through syringes over and over again. It was in 2016 when Kris had a gallbladder attack on a trip to Paris, which is a common by product of the disorder. She spent a week in the hospital with jaundiced eyes before having an emergency surgery, and that's when the Hematology collection was born. Doctors brought in microscopic images of Kris abnormally shaped blood smears, which were used to create textile prints, shapes, and silhouettes for a capsule womenswear collection.
